Available from Alpaca Expeditions: Your Lima to Machu Picchu Tour Package


Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel situated in the Cusco region of Peru, right above the Sacred Valley. Some of the highlights of Machu Picchu are the routes that travelers must take to get there. Built in the classical Incan style with polished dry stone walls, Machu Picchu is a combination of human and natural wonders merged to create a place suspended in time. In 2007, Machu Picchu was commemorated for this unique topography, having been voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in an online poll. We offer a seven-day Machu Picchu tour package to allow you to experience the ancient Inca trails and civilizations.
