✨Peru, located on South America's west coast, boasts a rich tapestry of history and natural beauty. Among its treasures, Machu Picchu stands out as a world-renowned archaeological site and a must-visit destination. 🌅Inca Trail Hike: This pilgrimage to Machu Picchu takes four days and three nights. Due to limited availability, advance booking is required. 🚏Aguas Calientes (Hot Springs Town): If hiking isn't your style, Aguas Calientes is your final stop before reaching Machu Picchu. 🚏🗺️Machu Picchu is South America's most famous archaeological site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Though discovered long ago, its origins and purpose remain shrouded in mystery. Here, you can marvel at the spectacular ruins of the ancient city and experience the mystical allure of the Andes. ✨Don't bring hiking poles into Machu Picchu. If you plan to climb the surrounding mountains, assess your physical capabilities beforehand. ✨Additional tickets are required for the surrounding mountains and the Inca Bridge. ✨Don't stamp your passport with the self-service Machu Picchu souvenir stamp, as this may invalidate your passport. ✨If you want to hike the Inca Trail, be sure to book in advance. ✨Machu Picchu is an absolute must-see on any Peruvian itinerary. Its breathtaking scenery and rich history and culture are well worth exploring.🤩🤩
