MACHUPICCHU AND HUAYNAPICCHU 2D/1N

MACHUPICCHU AND HUAYNAPICCHU 2D/1N

Machu Picchu (“Old Mountain”) is the contemporary name given to LLAQTA, the ancient town built before the 15th century, located in the eastern Cordillera of southern Peru, in the Andes mountain range and located on the 2430 m.a.s.l.

It is located in the Cusco Region, province of Urubamba on the Sacred Valley of the Incas, 80 kilometers northeast of the city of Cusco, city of Peru and through which the Urbamba River flows. According to many scholars, its original name would have been Llaqtapata. .

Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary in 1981 and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1983, as part of an entire cultural and ecological complex known as the Historical Sanctuary of Machupicchu, on July 7, 2007. Machu Picchu was declared one of the seven wonders of the modern world.

According to documents from the mid-16th century, it had a private character. However, some of its best constructions and the evident ceremonial character of the main access road to the llaqta or citadel tells of its origin prior to Pachacutec and its presumed use as a religious sanctuary. Both uses, that of a palace and that of a sanctuary, would not have been incompatible. Even though its supposed military character is discussed, the popular adjectives “fortress” or “citadel” could have been surpassed.

Machu Picchu is considered, at the same time, a masterpiece of architecture and engineering. Its peculiar architectural and landscape characteristics, and the veil of mystery that has woven around it much of the literature published about the site, have made it become one of the most popular tourist destinations on the planet, as well as one of the 7th wonders of the world.

HUAYNAPICCHU is more than 2,700 meters above sea level, about 300 meters above the Inca city of Machu Picchu.

The trails on this mountain are amazing, so much so that it has been considered one of the most incredible short hikes on the planet.

From the top of Huayna Picchu you can see some of the best views of the Inca city of Machu Picchu.

The roads to the top of Huaynapicchu were built by the Incas. There they performed religious ceremonies.

Today it is one of the most requested adventures by tourists who visit Machu Picchu. To be able to visit this wonder you must purchase 1 month in advance.
