Known as “the lost city of the Incas”, at 2,400 meters altitude in Peru, top of a mountain in the Urubamba river valley, the place among the seven wonders of the world is the main symbol of the Inca Empire. The fourth great work, is rich by its natural beauty. with its construction in the 16th century and considered World Heritage by Unesco, the place was rebuilt and has only 30% of “original” area.

A city of human work, but the contact with the nature and energy of the place surprises. In Machu Picchu the ideal is to guarantee your walk amid the ruins of the sacred city and to feel unique with the feeling that the place passes. One must be willing for big walks, but the payoff comes the final landscape.

The trip is worth it, for the culture, for the history and for its beauty. One of the most beautiful places in South America and the world.
