The mythical Machu Picchu
Steps: Machu Picchu
Morning lift, mounted by bus or foot for the brave. The idea? Be in Machu Picchu to observe sunrise on the ruins. A possible hike to the gates of the Sun is possible, provided that the physical condition is adequate. Or by having booked in advance to Huayna Picchu or Montaña Machu Picchu. It is strongly advised to have a guide with you in this stone city because it is difficult to know the meaning of each ruin, and the visit would then lose much of its interest. One of the ideal solutions is the accompaniment of a guide in the morning and a free visit in the afternoon. Return by bus to the town of Aguas Calientes. Hot bath at the end of the city to relax. Night on site.
