Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu boasts 140 structures, including temples, sanctuaries, parks, and residences, as well as over 100 stairways, numerous fountains, and a comprehensive water system. Abandoned during the Spanish invasion and the fall of the Inca Empire in the 16th century, Machu Picchu was discovered by Yale University professor Hiram Bingham in 1911. The ruins consist of two main areas: an urban area and an agricultural area, separated by a stone wall. Beyond the wall lie terraced agricultural areas, divided into high and low terraces depending on the terrain. The urban area is divided into three zones: the sacred area, the area for priests and nobles, and the southern area for commoners.

An unforgettable experience of Mother Nature and the greatness of Inca Empire. A must visit !

The tour finishes on a high with a visit to Machu Picchu.

Machu Picchu is a world cultural heritage site in Peru. The entire site stands on a ridge at an altitude of about 2,350 meters, overlooking the Urubamba River Valley and surrounded by tropical jungle. It is a relic of the famous pre-Columbian Inca Empire in Peru built around 1500 AD and is also one of the new seven wonders of the world. Machu Picchu means "ancient mountain" in Quechua. It is also called the "lost Inca city" and is a well-preserved pre-Columbian Inca relic. Machu Picchu is the most important archaeological excavation center in South America, and therefore the most popular tourist attraction in Peru.

Today, we went to Machu Picchu with excitement. We took the train and then the bus along the Urubamba River to the depths of the Andes Mountains. Local music was played on the bus along the way. The sound of the panpipes moved me again. The feeling, the scene, and the sound blended together, which was wonderful. Due to the altitude reaction, I basically didn't eat anything last night and this morning. I only drank a local tea. The sunshine on the plateau was particularly hot. We walked up the steps, full of expectations. The moment I reached the top, I wanted to shout: Machu Picchu, here I come! I held back when I saw that everyone around was a tourist. Machu Picchu is the most complete and spectacular monument I have seen so far. All the confusion and helplessness I encountered in these days have disappeared, and everything I have paid is worth it!

We took a bus from Reshui Town to Machu Picchu. There were not too many people in line, so we got on the bus quickly. The whole way was winding. When we arrived at the entrance of the scenic area, we went to the toilet first because there was no toilet in the scenic area. Maybe everyone thought so, so there was a queue for the toilet. The ticket said that water and food could not be brought in, but in fact no one cared. The ticket can be entered twice. After entering, we first went up a short mountain road, and then arrived at one of the best scenic spots. Machu Picchu was not far away. When the entire ruins appeared in front of us, we were still a little excited. Then those who bought the peak ticket started to climb the mountain, and other tourists went down to experience the ruins. We bought tickets for the Machu Picchu peak. We registered in the book before climbing the mountain. We started at 7:40 and signed out of the peak gate at 11:10. We walked a short distance and left the scenic area, and hurried to buy food and drinks. The chicken rolls bought at the only place to eat were also very delicious. We each bought a bottle of water, rested and went to the toilet, and entered again at 12:45. We walked the same road again, and then began to go down gradually. It is not allowed to go back, but it may not be so strict in practice. What is even more surprising is the light at sunset, and there is a tree, which is a perfect time to take pictures. There are many alpacas in the scenic area. I was surprised that they were tall and docile. Although their fur is coarse, it is very thick and a hole can be made with a finger poke.
