Once inside Machu Picchu, your expert guide will lead you through temples, agricultural terraces, ceremonial sites, and royal quarters, revealing the history, symbolism, and theories behind the mysterious “Lost City of the Incas.” Built in the 15th century and abandoned shortly after the Spanish conquest, Machu Picchu continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
