Ascent to Machu Picchu and Wayna Picchu's Majesty
Upon arrival at Machu Picchu Pueblo, ride the bus up switchbacks, entering the shrouded world of Machu Picchu. In this ancient Incan stronghold, our exceptional guide unpacks centuries of secrets: temples of the sun and stars, terraces sculpted from stone – a citadel nested between earth and sky. Then trace history up granite steps to Wayna Picchu’s cloud-wreathed summit.

In places this high, perspective shifts inward as much as outward. Return to the valley transformed.
