How do you get the cheapest tickets to Machu Picchu ?
In 1911, Hiram Bingham stumbled onto one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century: Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas”. Miraculously kept hidden in the mist of the Andes Mountains from the Spanish conquistadors during their conquest as well as much of the world until the 1900s, Machu Picchu is a remarkable look into Incan life. Today, the UNESCO World Heritage site attracts throngs of visitors, and your trip to Peru would not be the same without spending a day or two marveling in the mountain city.
The nearest place to stay by the ruins, besides the Sanctuary Lodge outside of the park gates, is a small town situated at the base of the mountain called Aguas Calientes. Hotels offer shuttles up and down the mountain all day, so you will be able to be in the park right when it opens. After a long day trekking through the ruins, visitors can soak up their aches and pains at the hot springs that are located in the town as well as enjoy several restaurants that cater towards the visitors to the ruins.
Like its days during the Incan Empire, Machu Picchu is far away from any major town, and so most travelers head out from Cusco to Aguas Calientes, and they overnight before heading up to the ruins. If you plan on doing that, consider stopping at some of the towns along the way in the Sacred Valley. The town of Ollantaytambo retains much of its Incan structure, and visitors can stop to view the town as well as shop for local handicrafts.
From Aguas Calientes, you have the choice of walking up the hill or taking a shuttle to the city’s gates. Once inside, take you time to explore the areas that Machu Picchu offers. You can hire a guide that will enhance the experience, as there are few explanations to what you are seeing. The city is divided into three areas: agriculture, urban, and religious, and the ruins offer small snippets of what life would be like in the ancient city. Some sights not miss are the Sun Gate, which is the entrance to the city from the Inca Trail, the Temple of the Sun – Intihuatana, which is a sundial, and the Temple of the Condor. Hike up to the funery rock for a splendid photo opportunity, and if you’re lucky, you might wander upon a llama as well.
Conquer your fear of heights and reserve a ticket to climb Wyna Picchu, the Sugarloaf Mountain that is in the background of most pictures. Only 400 people are allowed to climb each day, and while the ascent is sometimes frightening, the view of the city below is spectacular. If you want to continue on hiking, consider trekking down from the peak of Wyna Picchu to the Moon Temple and the Great Cave. While part of the trek is nearly vertical, you’ll get the chance to view the natural surroundings as well as escape the crowds in the main section.
