Machu Picchu Vacations

Machu Picchu vacations are becoming more and more popular as people realize the incredible rewards of experiencing this ancient and mysterious archaeological site. Discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, Machu Picchu is now among the most important and most recognized such sites in the world. The structures were built almost 600 years ago in classical Incan tradition, and have withstood the test of time to remain almost entirely intact today.

The Incan civilization had their headquarters in nearby Cuzco, and populated Machu Picchu for only 100 years before being driven out by the invading Spanish. A vacation to Machu Picchu offers a unique insight into the lives and practices of these powerful people who at one point constituted the most widespread civilization in all of the Americas.
