Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Machu Picchu se encuentra a 2,430 metros sobre el nivel del mar, con más de 150 estructuras, entre templos, terrazas y canales de agua. Atrae aproximadamente a 1.5 millones de visitantes al año que recorren el Camino Inca o llegan en tren.
Destacados: El sitio es extraordinario por su precisa mampostería, donde los bloques encajan tan ajustadamente que no se necesita mortero. El amanecer sobre la Puerta del Sol ofrece una vista impresionante de la niebla tejiéndose entre los picos andinos circundantes.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear sturdy shoes to navigate uneven stone paths safely.
- Photograph the site from the Guardhouse for iconic panoramic shots.
- Avoid midday visits when crowds peak and the sun is strongest.
