Taking a trip to Machu Picchu, Peru's most famous and recognized travel destination, offers an unforgettable insight into the culture of the Incan Empire. The Inca were South America's most powerful and widespread pre-Columbian civilization, with their headquarters in nearby Cuzco. Hiram Bingham discovered Machu Picchu in 1911 and it is now one of the most important archaeological sites in the world.
Built almost 600 years ago, Machu Picchu has withstood the test of time and stands almost entirely intact. A trip to Machu Picchu usually begins in Cuzco, where visitors then have numerous options for traveling the 50 miles to the site. Hardier travelers can opt for the 4-day trek along the Inca Trail, which takes hikers past lush jungle valleys and fascinating mountain villages. Other options include bus, rail, and for the most discriminating traveler, helicopter.
