This destination has played a significant role in our history, having been discovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911 and then they have worked to restore it for years. Machu Picchu is located at 2400 meters above the sea (8000 feet), when you are here, “there is a tremendous feeling of awe on first witnessing this place an ancient citadel straddles the saddle of a high mountain with steep terraces” writers said. In fact, those coming to Cusco will likely already have Machu Picchu on their itineraries. However, that is not all that it provides to visitors also you will enjoy seeing and learning more about the history and our local guide will take you across several lookout points where you can take impressive views and pictures of temples, terraces and water channels.
