Machu Picchu, the City in the Sky You Must Visit in Your Lifetime

🌟Machu Picchu, a Must-See City in the Sky✨ 🌆Foreword Machu Picchu, this ancient city hidden deep in the Andes Mountains, is known as the "City in the Sky" and is a wonder of the Inca civilization left to the world. It is not only a historical site, but also an adventure through time and space. Today, let me take you to explore it! 🗺️Itinerary ✈️To Cusco Depart from Lima, the capital of Peru, and take a plane to Cusco. Cusco is the starting point for Machu Picchu, and it is recommended to stay here for 2 days to acclimatize to the high altitude. 🚂Arrival at Aguas Calientes From Cusco, you can choose to take a train or hike to Aguas Calientes at the foot of Machu Picchu. The train is the fastest way, with picturesque scenery along the way, and you can also enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Urubamba River Valley. 🚌Ascend to Machu Picchu After arriving at Aguas Calientes, take a bus to Machu Picchu early the next morning. It is recommended to choose early bird tickets so that you can avoid the crowds and wait for the sunrise. 🎫Ticket Booking Tickets to Machu Picchu are very limited, especially during peak season (June-August), so it is recommended to book online at least two months in advance. In addition, the Inca Trail is closed every February, so if you need to experience it, you need to book six months in advance. 🏞️Tour Routes Machu Picchu has three main tour routes, which you can choose according to your physical strength and interests: 1. Panoramic Route: Suitable for those who like to take pictures, you can enjoy the panoramic view of Machu Picchu. 2. Classic Route: Take you to learn about the historical relics of the Inca city and feel the wisdom of the Inca civilization. 3. Royal Route: Explore the most sacred areas of Machu Picchu, such as the Temple of the Sun and the Inca Royal Residence. 🏔️Special Recommendation If you are physically fit, you can try climbing Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain. Overlooking Machu Picchu from the top of the mountain, the shock cannot be described in words! 🛒Accommodation Recommendation Aguas Calientes is a transit station for tourists, and there are a variety of accommodation options. If your budget allows, you can choose the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge Hotel on Machu Picchu Mountain, which is right next to the scenic spot entrance. 🌟Tips • Machu Picchu is at a high altitude, remember to acclimatize to the plateau environment in advance. • Respect local culture and do not touch the ruins. • You can get your passport stamped at the entrance of Machu Picchu as a unique souvenir. 🌐Conclusion Machu Picchu is more than just an ancient city, it is a piece of history, a legend, and a baptism of the soul. I hope my guide can help you better plan this trip and experience the mystery and charm of this city in the sky.🌟
