Must visit the sky city ~ Machu Picchu❤️

Everyone knows the city in the sky, Machu Picchu. It is one of the seven wonders of the new world and is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. 🌿 Machu Picchu is located in the Andes Mountains of Peru. The ancient Inca city is 2,430 meters above sea level. ☀️🪨 It is a relic of the Inca Empire and is known as the "Lost City of the Inca". ⭐️🌙 Machu Picchu is mainly divided into three areas: the sacred area, the popular area, and the priest and noble area. To go to Machu Picchu, you must first go to Aguas Calientes. Then take a bus up the mountain from Aguas Calientes, or you can choose to walk up the mountain. There are two ways to go to Aguas Calientes. You can take a train from Cusco directly to Aguas Calientes. It takes about three hours to get to Aguas Calientes, and the train fare is relatively affordable. The cheaper way is to take a bus to Santa Teresa District. The bus time is longer, about six to seven hours, and then walk along the train track for more than three hours to get to Aguas Calientes. The cost is only US$15 one way. Transportation costs: Train from Cusco to Aguas Calientes US$68 one-way (cheapest carriage) Approximately US$95 one-way (medium fare) Approximately US$378 one-way (top luxury train) Bus from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu US$12 (one-way) #Peru #Machu Picchu #Aguas Calientes #Sky City #Inca #Ancient Civilization #Lost City of the Incas #Sky City #Lost City
