Upon arrival to Machu Picchu town you will be meet by a representative who will escort you to the bus that will take you to the 25-minute ride to "Lost City of the Incas" which was discovered by American explorer Hiram Bingham in 1911. Located on the left bank of the Urubamba/Vilcanota River lies the wonderful old city of Machu Picchu, which in Quechua translates to "Old Mountain". According to research, Machu Picchu was one of the vacation residences of Pachacutec, the Incan emperor who reigned between 1438 and 1470. However, some of its finest buildings and the evident ceremonial purpose of the main access road to the village, prove that it was used as a religious shrine.
Machu Picchu is considered a masterpiece of both architecture and engineering due to its unique architectural and landscaping features. Prominent constructions among its buildings are the Main Square, the Royal Quarters, the Temple of the Three Windows, the Circular Towers, the Sacred Sun Dial and the Burial Grounds, to name but a few. Listen in awe as your guide gives you all the need-to-know information about this splendid Sanctuary.
