Visit Machu Picchu and Experience the Inca Empire

If you only visit one place in Peru, it has to be Machu Picchu! This lost city in the clouds has a mysterious story of the Inca Empire hidden in every stone. 🎫Tickets: Book in advance on the official website. There are morning and afternoon sessions, so don't miss your time slot. We recommend the morning session for better lighting and beautiful photos📸 🚗Transportation: First, go to Cusco, then take a train to Aguas Calientes. The train ride offers stunning views of the Andes Mountains. After arriving in Aguas Calientes, take a bus up the mountain early the next morning to catch the sunrise🌅 🏞Itinerary: Enter through the Sun Gate, take a photo of the iconic panoramic view of Machu Picchu, and then visit the various temples and palaces. Don't forget to visit the Intihuatana Stone, which is said to be where the Incas "tied" the sun. It's amazing! 🍜Food: In Aguas Calientes, try the local roasted guinea pig, which is tender and delicious. There's also chicha, a corn-based alcoholic beverage. It's unique, but be careful not to drink too much, as it can be quite strong😜 💡Tips: It's windy on the mountain, so remember to bring a thick coat. Machu Picchu is at a high altitude, so you may experience altitude sickness. Prepare altitude sickness medication in advance. In Machu Picchu, you'll be surrounded by a sense of history, as if you've traveled back to the mysterious Inca era. Add it to your travel list now✈️
