Machu Picchu is a world-famous Incan citadel located in the Andes Mountains of Peru. There are several ways to explore this historic site, including hiking the Inca Trail, taking a day trip from Cusco, or booking a multi-day tour that includes the Sacred Valley.

Visitors must purchase a permit to enter Machu Picchu, and it’s important to book tours and permits well in advance as they can sell out quickly. Additionally, the high altitude and steep terrain can make Machu Picchu tours physically challenging, so it’s important to be prepared with proper gear and acclimatize to the altitude before starting any hikes.
