Machu Picchu Tours and Treks

Also known as Machu Picchu Pueblo and the final stop before reaching Machu Picchu. Thanks to its location you can expect crowds as travellers stay here before their ascent to Machu Picchu. Here you will find thermal springs, restaurants, the Machu Picchu Museum, Quechua craft stalls and crowds.

Very few climb this forested mountain but for those that do escape the crowds with stunning views of the main square of Machu Picchu from afar and the Urubamba canyon all around. Booking in advance is essential as there is only a limit of 400 climbers per day.Huayna Picchuz

The Inca Trail trek is no doubt one of the most popular treks in the world and considered a ‘must-do’ while you’re in Peru. In fact, booking at least five months in advance is strongly recommended as permits can sell out. Trekking Inca stone pathways you may also visit mysterious ancient Inca archaeological Inca sites and be awestruck by the surreal views of Machu Picchu National Park.

Situated between the towns of Pisac and Ollantaytambo lies the picturesque Sacred Valley. This site was considered sacred thanks to its astronomical location with the Milky Way and it has the finest Inca ruins to support it. Hidden highlights of the Sacred Valley include the Moray ruins and Chinchero.

The Sun Gate was once a fortress and is marked as one of the main entrances into Machu Picchu. Due to its location, many believed that it was constructed to control the exit and entry points into the citadel. Watch the spectacular sunrise from the summit but just bear in mind it is often misty at dawn and crowded.

Enjoy a dreamy style experience through Andean foothills, Urubamba River and Sacred Valley’s on board a train from Cuzco to Aguas Calientes. The Vistadome and Hiram Bingham trains offer panoramic views of the spectacular landscape.
