Machu Picchu was built by the Incas in the 15th-century. The exact function of Machu Picchu is still disputed, but it was clearly some kind of fortress and royal residence. Some believe that it was also used as a mountaintop observatory – it does seem to be ideally placed for stargazing. The Incas were known to be fascinated by astronomy.
When the conquistadors invaded what is now Peru, the Inca civilization was soon overrun. Machu Picchu was abandoned and lost to history. It was “rediscovered” in 1911 and it has been a site of endless fascination ever since. There’s nowhere else on earth quite like it.
Some believe that Machu Picchu was a home of the Inca emperor Pachacuti. It was only in use for a century. The Spanish invasion of the Americas devasted the less technologically advanced civilisations that had flourished there for so long. History may be brutal but it’s endlessly fascinating.
To get to Machu Picchu you’ll need to begin in Cusco, one of the highest-altitude cities on earth. It’s known as the “gateway to Machu Picchu.” It’s a fascinating city to explore and it’ll allow you to acclimatise to the thinner air. You’ll want to take it easy as you acclimatise in order to prepare yourself for the journey ahead. Cusco has a great food scene and surprisingly good nightlife.
From Cusco, you’ll travel to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. From here, you’ll get the train to Machu Picchu. You’ll be greeted with stunning landscapes wherever you look and you’ll be able to see other Inca ruins on your way up the mountain. If you join a luxury group trip to Machu Picchu, you’ll be travelling in style on board the Hiram Bingham train. Expect fine dining and the highest quality of service. There are also more budget-friendly options.
From the small town of Aguas Calientes, you’ll then take the shuttle bus direct to Machu Picchu. You can even walk if you’re feeling adventurous! The mountain citadel that awaits you will not disappoint. The journey may be a long one but it makes your arrival feel so much more satisfying.
