Machu Picchu, perched high in the Andes Mountains of Peru, is one of the most iconic and breathtaking archaeological sites in the world.
The site overlooks the Urubamba River and is surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery, including the imposing Huayna Picchu peak and the lush Machu Picchu Mountain.
To reach Machu Picchu, most visitors take a train from Cusco or Ollantaytambo to the town of Aguas Calientes, followed by a short bus ride up to the site. Alternatively, for those seeking adventure, the Inca Trail offers a multi-day trek culminating at Machu Picchu, providing a unique and immersive approach to the site.
