Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu

#thingstodo Very well maintained and breathtaking! They have so many picture perfect spots. A bit of steep steps - so you need to be decently fit to be able to do the circuit. It took us around 2.5hrs with very generous breaks and stopping for many pictures and tour guide. Highly recommend getting a tour guide (around $80 USD for a private guide) to make the experience more enjoyable and you can soak in the Inka experience and understand the most city. It is very well maintained. It was warm and sunny in the morning. Recommend going early. We till the 7am ticket but reached there around 8am so that fog would have cleared. It was a picture perfect day for us. I heard you can go a little later if there is fog. Make sure to take pictures with the llamas up there. Absolutely jawdropping awesome, it is about 15min of stairs to reach the top. You CAN take snacks and water in Plastic bottles they don't search your bag. The drive up with the bus is also beautiful but a little scary as the road is narrow with no barriers and a steep view down. I believe this is the most spectacular wonder of the world. Best to take the 6am tour then there are not a lot of tourists. Come see peru offered an amazing private tour for us.
