A breathtaking 8, 000 feet above sea level, veiled in cloud atop the mountainous columns of the Urubamba Valley, Machu Picchu is the most important historical site in the Americas.The site is one of the best remaining examples of the outstanding Inca architecture and stonemasonry. The city was crafted from huge blocks of stone, carved with incredible skill to fit together without the need for mortar or cement.There are few sights in the world that compare to the swirling mists parting at dawn as the sun rises over the mountaintops to illuminate this mystifying city, a lasting testament to the power and ultimate tragedy of the Inca empire.

The foliage dramatically changes as the train approaches the meeting point of the Andes and the Amazon rainforest, providing visitors with a real sense of Peru's diverse geography.Upon arrival in Aguas Calientes, the town near Machu Picchu, you will head to the bus station for a 20-minute ride up to the secluded citadel, where you will enjoy a fascinating tour of the ruins.After your tour, you have the option to explore more of the site solo and capture some final photos. Some take advantage of Machu Picchu's spiritual setting to meditate and whisper a thank you to Pachamama.In the afternoon, you will take a comfortable train back to Cusco.
