Machu Picchu

 

The views are breathtaking. Seeing the pictures online represent Machu Picchu as a spectacular place; actually being there puts you in a state of awe on so many levels. The architecture, the scenery, the history, everything you learn about the Incas and the massive Andes surrounding you make this sightseeing excursion one of the most impressive. Truly a wonder of the world.

The Tips

 

  • Purchase your bus tickets in Aguas Calientes the day before you go to Machu Picchu.

  • The line for the bus to and from Machu Picchu can be very long. If you go early and leave early, this will reduce line times.

  • Long Pants, bug spray and essential oils are recommended for Sand Flies and Mosquitoes.

  • The guided group tours online are expensive and it is unnecessary to sign up for these.

  • Much of the info online says you are required to have a guide. You do not need to have one, but we do recommend hiring a private guide upon arrival at Macchu Pichu which will cost about $80-100 including tip.
