Machu Picchu Holidays

A holiday in Machu Picchu offers a fascinating insight into the lives and cultures of the Incas, the ancient tribe that once populated Peru. Built almost 600 years ago, Machu Picchu has stood the test of time and now offers visitors a fabulous opportunity to glimpse how the powerful Inca people lived.

A holiday to Machu Picchu begins in the town of Cuzco, which is about 19 hours from Lima by bus or only an hour by airplane. From Cuzco, visitors have the option of several modes of transit to suit their varying levels of ambition and physical fitness. The best option also depends on how much time visitors have to dedicate to the approach to Machu Picchu.

Peru For Less Can Accommodate Your Machu Picchu Holiday Needs

For the fit and eager, hiking the Inca Trail is an excellent way to slow down and absorb the fascinating culture of the region. Small villages, fog-laden valleys, verdant mountains, and gentle people all contribute to an unforgettable holiday. A quicker yet still rewarding way of reaching Machu Picchu is by train, which takes about four hours.

Finally, discriminating visitors can opt for a private helicopter ride to Machu Picchu. While considerably more expensive than the other, land-based options, seeing this magnificent land from the air is an experience you'll never forget.
