Machu Picchu... is probably the most awe- inspiring sight in South America, an absolute must on any trip to the southern continent. A mountain- top sanctuary used by the Inca rulers in times of distress, it was so well hidden that its existence was hardly dreamed of until its discovery in 1911 by Hiram Bingham. There are magnificent ruins with temples, houses, fountains, water channels, and a cementery. A strangely cut stone altar, where the priests "tied the sun" at the times of the equinoxes, overlooks the fantastically beautiful Sacred Valley. Lost city of the Incas hidden high in the Andean mountains.
MachuPicchu...There are ruins- and there are ruins MachuPicchu is definitely the latter- a place so stunning it´s almost difficult to belive it exists. There´s the setting: soaring peaks clad in layers of steamy cloud forest.Then there are the ruins themselves: engineering marvels that have withstood half a dozen centuries worth of earthquakes and inclement weather, and of course, there´s the history: the Inca citadel that remained shrounded in forest until its rediscovery in the early 20th century. All around... and awesome sight.
We offer a multiples ways to see this modern marvel. Machu Picchu...The magnificent mountaintop citadel.

INCA TRAIL TREK TO MACHUPICCHU.- The continent´s most famous pedestrian roadway is a tourist attraction in its own right. Snaking through the cloud forest for 43 winding kilometers. Its destiantion is the famous Intipunku -or Sun Gate- the point at which weary trekkers can catch their first extravagant glimpse of the ruins at MachuPicchu. While there are countless ancient roads all over Peru. The Inca Trail with its mix of majestic views, staggering mountain passes and cluster of ruins- remains the traveler favorite.
Probably the best way to visit this fantastic and magycal place. The famous "Inca Trail" which connects the city of Cusco to Machupicchu's sacred citadel, is only a small part and tangential huge network of Inca roads. There were many trails built by Incas in Peru and South America, but there is only one Inca Trail, the one that is connecting to Machupicchu the Inca`s "Royal Sacred Highway" The Capac Ñan (in Quechua 'the road of the Inca king') or Inca Trail is the name given to the extensive trail system of 25 to 30 thousand kilometers linked and connected to the main axis of the road network Tahuantinsuyo (the Inca Empire.) All roads of the empire were linked to Cusco, the imperial capital, from which emerge a series of roads connecting the various peoples of the Inca Empire. During the Inca Empire was a means of integration for the Inca imperial expansion in the political-administrative, socio-economic, social, cultural and environmental.
Hiram Bingham, discoverer of Machupicchu in 1911, found the trail in 1915. The highway was traced and explored in more details in 1942 by the Viking Expedition with Paul Fejos 1941.
There is nothing like the feeling of discovery you get when, after 4 days of hiking stone-paved Inca pathways, you finally ascend the last trail, walk to the arch of Intipunku ("Gate of the Sun"), and see spread before you Machupicchu, the beautiful, enigmatic, "lost city" of the Incas. To arrive on foot, as the Incas did, is to step back in time and feel a real link with Inca history. The Inca Trail to Machupicchu is a classic hike. There are few short hikes anywhere in the world that can offer such a mix of jungle and sierra, so many secluded ruins to explore en route, and such stunning mountain views- plus the thrill of culminating at the most famous archaeological site on the continent... MachuPicchu.
