Machu Picchu Tours: Unveiling the Mystical Citadel in the Clouds
Uncover the mystical allure of Machu Picchu, an ancient citadel veiled in mist and perched among the clouds. Constructed by the visionary Inca Emperor Pachacutec in the 15th century, Machu Picchu stands as the ultimate destination for explorers embarking on our extraordinary Machu Picchu Tours.
This captivating city, “lost” for centuries before being “rediscovered” in 1911, is located in the Urubamba province of the Cusco region of Peru. The enigmatic ruins still lure in legions of tourists who come to marvel at its seemingly improbable setting, high up on a cloud-swirled plateau amid an audience of Andean peaks. It is not only Peru’s most-visited tourist destination but is also the most-visited site in South America as a whole, with around one million people making the journey here every year. In 2007, Machu Picchu earned a spot among the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Experience Machu Picchu
GASTRONOMY
Though eating at the site of Machu Picchu is prohibited, the surrounding area has a diverse range of gastronomy due to the Incas ability to farm and harvest even in the harshest conditions. They developed resilient breeds of crops such as potatoes, quinoa, and corn. They built cisterns and irrigation canals that snaked and angled down and around the mountains. And they cut terraces into the hillsides, progressively steeper, from the valleys up the slopes. Products like potatoes, yucas, sweet potato, oca, olluco, and many others complete the everyday diet of the ancient inhabitants and play a significant role in the cuisine and the restaurants nearby, today.
CULTURE
Machu Picchu is a mix of many cultures with many different traditions including Inca, Peruvian, and Amazonian heritage. The combination of Peruvian music and dance, accompanied by the food and traditions of ancient Incas makes Machu Picchu a place to remember. Machu Picchu is also important to indigenous cultural heritage. The ancient city might be called the crowning achievement of Incan culture and spirituality. The culture and language of the contemporary indigenous people come directly from the Incas. In an authentic sense, Machu Picchu is where these people come from.
ADVENTURE
From trekking to glamping - the route to Machu Picchu is packed with adventure activities for visitors to enjoy. From the Inca Trail to the Salkantay Trail, the views of the Andes while trekking to Machu Picchu are endless. Experience the unique wildlife, diverse landscapes and picturesque views around Machu Picchu by trekking your way through the region.
WELLNESS
Machu Picchu serves as an incredible backdrop for any wellness-inspired itinerary. Relax at the spa of the Belmond Hotel or visit the hot springs of Aguas Calientes. The region is a spiritual sanctuary bound to help you relax, unwind and recharge and reconnect with yourself. Machu Picchu is home to many Peruvian superfoods like quinoa or Maca, packed full of amino acids, vitamins and minerals which help to increase energy, reduce stress and create an overall revitalizing effect.

WHAT TO SEE AND DO
Hike Huayna Picchu Overlooking the entire site is the towering peak of Huayna Picchu which lies on a scenic trail that takes you up a jungle-covered mountainside. Take a few hours out of your day and hike up to the top to find extraordinary views of Machu Picchu and the surrounding jungle - testament to the ingenuity and industry of the Inca. The steepest staircases are at the end of the hike, near the summit. In spite of its difficulty, this trail is in high demand and it’s limited to only 400 hikers per day, so you often have to book several months in advance to get a spot to do this epic journey.
