Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu
Visiting the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu was a magical and inspiring experience. I enjoyed wandering through the ruins of the ancient city, where I could see the magnificent structures atop the Andes Mountains 🌄. Exploring the ancient temples and residences and wandering the stone paths gave me the opportunity to learn about the amazing Inca civilization🏛️. The surrounding scenery was breathtakingly beautiful, with stunning views of green hills and massive rock formations 🌿. The atmosphere was filled with tranquility and spirituality, making the visit a cultural and spiritual experience.
Recording the scenery of the Waynapicchu Doll Mountain
Driving along this road, you will reach the famous Waynapicchu Mountain Range. Indeed, only by being there in person can you deeply feel the magnificence and grandeur before your eyes. One cannot help but marvel at the craftsmanship of nature, which makes me click my tongue in admiration. In such a setting, I feel how small I am and suddenly have a sense of great relief.
An intelligent visit to Machu Picchu
The bimodal trip from Cusco to aguas calientes to visit Machu Picchu:
- you buy at the website and chose between: inka train or Peru rail. As foreigners you can only buy tourist trips starting at 56 dollars.
- you take a mini van from inka train terminal to ollantaytambo and then the train to Machu Picchu town (known also as aguas calientes as they have hot springs)
- Buy the bus ticket to Machu Picchu in advance in the office and the mountain MP near the plaza de armas in a cultural center
- buy the tickets to Machu Picchu in the official website, check that there are several trails and check availability on every trail. Everyone buys either one or two and there is always place for the 3 and 4
- near the main square you can buy the tickets one day in advance but is always full of people and you have to usually wait under the rain
- book a guide with your hotel, they usually charge you 150 soles for private tour. Ours, Agustín, was a lovely one.
