Machu Picchu stands 2,430 m above sea-level, in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. It was probably the most amazing urban creation of the Inca Empire at its height; its giant walls, terraces and ramps seem as if they have been cut naturally in the continuous rock escarpments. The natural setting, on the eastern slopes of the Andes, encompasses the upper Amazon basin with its rich diversity of flora and fauna.
"What to bring: Weather-appropriate clothing and your passport (required). We recommend comfortable walking shoes and layers for changing mountain weather." You might also want to add: • "Sunscreen and hat recommended for high altitude" • "Small backpack for personal items" • "Camera for stunning photo opportunities"
The fortress was located on the eastern slope of the Vilcanota mountain range, a visit to the heart of the Inca Empire and the Andean and colonial culture. With the magnificent "Lost City of the Incas", Machu Picchu about 80 km from Cusco, the capital of Tahuantinsuyo.
