Machu Picchu is an Incan citadel set high in the Andes Mountains in Peru, above the Urubamba River valley. Built in the 15th century and later abandoned, it’s renowned for its sophisticated dry-stone walls that fuse huge blocks without the use of mortar, intriguing buildings that play on astronomical alignments and panoramic views.
The Sacred Valley of the Incas, in the Peruvian Andes and jungle, is composed of numerous rivers that descend through ravines and small valleys; it has numerous archaeological monuments and indigenous villages. From the provinces of Urubamba and Calca.
Founded, according to legend, by Manco Capac, Cusco was the heart of the Tawantinsuyo, with impressive constructions such as Sacsayhuaman and Coricancha. Its design reflected the organization of the empire, with roads connecting all its regions. Today it is an important tourist destination and a World Heritage Site.
The 7 Colors Mountain in Cusco, also known as Vinicunca, is now one of the most popular tourist attractions in Peru. The mountain is formed by 14 minerals of different colors which were not visible until 2013. It should be noted that the recommended way to access the 7 Colors Mountain is with a tour operator with an official permit which provides confidence and security.

The Inca Trail is the most famous hike in South America. Although the total distance is only about 39km, the ancient trail laid by the Incas from the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu winds its way up and down and around the mountains, snaking over three high Andean passes en route, which have collectively led to the route being dubbed ‘the Inca Trail.’ The views of snowy mountain peaks, distant rivers and ranges, and cloud forests flush with orchids are stupendous and walking from one cliff-hugging pre-Columbian ruin to the next is a mystical and unforgettable experience.
The Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu is an alternative to the Inca Trail. It is considered by most to be the best alternative route. We think it’s the best route! Not only because of the rampant beauty you will encounter, but also because of the lack of people. Because it is more rugged and remote, the Salkantay Trek is significantly less populated than the Inca Trail. With formidable views and awe-inspiring vistas, this path less traveled has an unquantifiable value. It is truly, as deemed by the Inca, sacred.
