The mystical Incan fortress of Machu Picchu in Peru is a top travel destination for virtually every travel lover. Perched upon the Peruvian Andes mountains and constructed in the 1400s, Machu Picchu served as the estate of the Incan emperor Pachacuti. Machu Picchu has ceremonial chambers, as well as evidence of agriculture, but there is still a great deal that remains unknown about the stunning stone structure that is one of the world’s most magnificent architectural feats. After the majestic stone fortress was abandoned around 1530, the site was overgrown with dense vegetation and lay dormant until it was rediscovered by a German businessman in the 1800s. Booking a tour of Machu Picchu is the best way to get the most out of the intricate stone carvings, rich history, and towering mountains that surround one of South America’s most captivating ruins.

When choosing a Machu Picchu tour, consider your budget, if you want a private or group tour, and if you want to focus exclusively on Machu Picchu, or if you want to view some other surrounding scenery. There are also some Machu Picchu tours that focus on hiking, if you’re in the mood for a rugged adventure.
