- Explore ancient Inca history by hiking through Machu Picchu’s upper terrace; visit sacred sites such as the cemetery, funerary rock, and Guard's House along the way.

Your Experience
Welcome to an memorable journey through Machu Picchu's majestic landscapes. Begin your adventure at the main entrance and tread upon ancient stone paths once walked by Inca royalty. A 30-minute ascent up these stairways brings you to the iconic Guardian’s House, offering a legendary view of the city—where those classic postcard shots are captured.
Yet beyond what photos reveal lies an experience filled with crisp mountain air and serene silence broken only by rustling leaves. Stand in awe as history unfolds beneath your feet from this vantage point overlooking urban sectors, sacred temples, and the intricate layout of Machu Picchu. Explore at leisure through upper terraces like the cemetery and funerary rock to understand Incan beliefs—where altitude symbolized closeness to their gods.
Your descent follows ancient stone steps back toward the main gate after soaking in this historical panorama.
Extend Your Adventure
If you're eager for more, choose one of three thrilling extensions. Start a 4-hour trek up Machu Picchu Mountain to witness stunning panoramic views over both ruins and the Sacred Valley. Opt instead for the Inca Bridge route—a shorter journey leading to an adventurous stone pathway carved into cliffs that once served as a hidden city entrance.
Alternatively, explore the Qhapaq Ñan trail with its 2 km uphill trek to Intipunku (the Sun Gate), where Incas first encountered morning rays after their pilgrimage. Each path reveals further secrets of this Incan masterpiece, enriching your adventure at every step.
