Machu Picchu
Inca terraces and stone temples fill a mountain saddle, with Huayna Picchu rising behind the citadel.
Choose your circuit before booking: Circuit 1 reaches the Guardhouse panorama, while Circuit 2 combines lower-terrace views with the urban sector. Reserve a named, timed ticket in advance and bring the passport used to book. Entry is not sold at the gate, and train tickets do not include it. Morning mist may take time to lift.
