Visiting Machu Picchu is one of the most extraordinary traveling experiences in the world. Built almost 600 years ago as a royal retreat for rulers of the Incan Empire, Machu Picchu offers visitors an incredible insight into the lives and practices of the Incan people. Remarkably well-preserved, Machu Picchu was discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham almost by accident. It is now one of the most visited archaeological sites in the world.
A visit to Machu Picchu usually begins in Cuzco, about 50 miles away from the site. From there, one may choose from a variety of different ways in which to approach Machu Picchu. For the more ambitious, hiking the Inca Trail can be a fascinating insight into the culture of the indigenous people who have lived in these high Andean valleys for centuries. For the more relaxed visitor, an easy ride by train or bus can get you to Machu Picchu in only a few hours. Finally, a helicopter ride offers stupendous views of this magical land.
