What is Machu Picchu?
  • Machu Picchu was built in the middle of the 15th
    century as a royal estate for the first Inka
    emperor, Pachacuti Inka Yupanqui, on a mountain
    saddle overlooking the Urubamba River. The area
    was about three days walk from Cuscos Inka
    capital, and it was about 3,000 feet lower in
    height, with a nice temperature. It was built as
    a location for the Inka emperor and his family to
    conduct feasts, perform religious rites, and
    govern empire affairs, while also staking a claim
    to territory that would be owned by his dynasty
    after his death. The location was chosen because
    of its connection to the Andean landscape, which
    has long been regarded as ancestral deities
    across the Andes.
  • The complex includes dwellings for aristocrats,
    retainers, and maintenance workers, as well as
    religious shrines, fountains, and terraces, as
    well as carved rock outcrops, which are a
    characteristic feature of Inka art. Machu Picchu
    was built in the middle of the 15th century as a
    royal estate for the first Inka emperor,
    Pachacuti Inka Yupanqui, on a mountain saddle
    overlooking the Urubamba River. The area was
    about three days walk from Cuscos Inka capital,
    and it was about 3,000 feet lower in height, with
    a nice temperature.

Why Machu Picchu?
  • The citadel of Machu Picchu was unknown and hence
    unexplored by the conquistadors and their
    companions. Machu Picchu is well-known as a
    cultural hotspot for historians. Machu Picchu is
    also revered as a sacred site. The Citadel of
    Machu Picchu attracts visitors from all over the
    globe who come to admire the natural beauty and
    exquisite sculptures of this isolated landmark of
    an ancient civilization, that of the Incas.
  • The old abandoned city was established in the
    15th century and is notable for its dry-stone
    walls that were erected without the use of
    mortar. The ancient site is located inside a
    fully natural environment, with hills, valleys,
    and steep slopes filling the landscape that
    surrounds the city, making it one of the most
    spectacular urban constructions of the Incan
    Empire. Machu Picchu is one of Perus most
    visited locations, and the climb to get there
    allows you to connect with the Incas spiritual
    path and follow their extensive archeological
    heritage.

Best time to visit
July and August are great months to visit Machu
Picchu, but the crowd can be a little
suffocating. This is why we recommend the months
of April and May. The sky has cleared, the peaks
are emerald and the place calm.  If you plan on
attending the Festival of the Sun, late June is
perfect! Make sure you visit during dry months
because the rain can be uncomfortable and prove
slippery.

Things to do in Machu Picchu
  • Visit the temple of the moon and the great
    cavern.
  • Visit the agricultural terraces
  • Climb the Huayna Picchu
  • See the Temple of the Sun
  • Pray to The Sacred Rock
  • Watch the sunset from Machu Picchu

Look out for
  • The Inti Raymi Festival, which literally
    translates to Festival of the Sun, was
    celebrated as a religious festival by the Incas
    to worship the Sun. The Inca Empire celebrated
    this festival in the honor of their most admired
    God, Inca. That is why it holds special
    importance and is celebrated on the shortest day
    of the year the winter solstice.
