Terraces of Machu Picchu
Bedste tid at besøge
Early morning brings softer light and fewer visitors for clear views and cooler temperatures during the hike. Dry season from May to September is ideal to avoid slippery conditions.
Budgettips
Entrance to Machu Picchu includes access to the terraces, costing about $50 USD for foreigners with discounts for students and Peruvians. Book tickets months in advance to avoid premium prices and crowded time slots.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Disse terrasser strækker sig langs stejle skråninger i mere end 600 trin og forhindrer jorderosion samt maksimerer landbrugsudbyttet. Temperaturvariationerne mellem terrasse-niveauerne skaber mikroklimaer, som engang tillod inka-landmænd at dyrke forskelligartede afgrøder som kartofler, majs og quinoa.
Højdepunkter: Stenmurene rejser sig op til 3 meter i højden og er genialt designet uden mørtel for at modstå seismisk aktivitet. Vandkanaler løber gennem terrasserne og styrer regnvand samt irrigere marker uden moderne pumper eller teknologi.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy hiking shoes as the terrain is uneven and steep.
- Bring a camera for panoramic shots from the midpoint viewing platform.
- Avoid visiting during midday when crowds and heat peak.
- Download your Machu Picchu ticket and guide before arrival to save time.
