Many people confuse Machu Picchu with Machu Picchu Mountain. The first refers to the Inca Citadel, the archaeological site discovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911. The second, refers to the summit elevated to 3082 m.a.s.l. in which the mentioned enclosure is settled. The coincidence of name is due to the fact that the Inca llaqta took the name of the mountain known by the settlers as Machu-Picchu (Old Mountain).
Currently, the mountain was conditioned to be a tourist attraction. Its roads, old Inca trails, were enabled to be traveled daily by up to 800 people. From the top and along the way you can see the Inca City, the Huayna Picchu and all the mountainous landscape of the place. It is the ideal place if you are looking for the perfect picture of the Wonder of the World.
People of any age can climb Machu Picchu Mountain. This makes this attraction a great opportunity for family enjoyment. Newborns should be carried in baby carriers. Children should be watched by their parents. There are cases of older adults who are encouraged to walk their paths
Machu Picchu Mountain requires some implements for an optimal route and without setbacks. This is especially true during the rainy season (from October to March) when rainfall humidifies the stairs. Here are some items to carry:
Machu Picchu is located at the top of a mountain of the Andes in Peru at 2400 meters of altitude and 112 km by train from the city of Cusco, temperature of 21° maximum the minimum to 10° by train to four north of the city of Cusco, now for the growth of tourism there are several options and alternatives to reach, walking or by train, the important thing this Inca park is visited daily by thousands of tourists in a safe way, Cusco is the safest city of all cities in Peru, there are three types of police, citizen security, municipal security, national police.
The best time to travel to Machu Picchu is from May to October, in winter. Temperatures are much lower and reach as low as 5°C, but it does not rain as in the other months of the year between December and April. The best months are June and July. The recommended week is the 24th of June when the Inti Raymi sun festival begins. But there are too many people for the holiday season in the United States, so you have to book all hotels and tours in advance.
In order to get to Machu Picchu it is obligatory to arrive before in order to acclimatize. To get to Cusco, leaving Argentina, the fastest and safest way is to fly from Buenos Aires Lima then to Cusco, because there are no direct flights to Cusco, if they are in Brazil in the same way there are no direct international flights to Cusco, some international agencies offer package from your country, but do not trust them, because they are not updated on the weather and conditions of visits to Machu Picchu then it can be difficult to get used to the Peruvian population, so ask a local operator.
You can’t. The last camp is located at the foot of the Inca Trail, the place called bridges ruins, there you can rent carapas from the Ministry of Culture is 1h30 walk before arriving at Machu Picchu. If you want to know only Machu Picchu you must take the train back and forth to Cusco, you will have to sleep in a hotel in the town of Aguas Calientes which is located at the foot of the Machu Picchu mountain also known as the town of Machupicchu, there are many hotels of different costs.
NO, Machu Picchu never closes. It only closes on days when it rains a lot and there is a train cut to take tourists or there is a Natural disaster that does not allow travelers to reach any of the tracks, as happened in 2014 that was closed for three months because the railway was razed by the river almost 15 km of lardo, that is the risk of traveling in February. But most of all it works all normal contact u
Yes, there are visitor limits at Machu Picchu per day. The maximum allowed is 2500 visitors per day. For the Inca Trail only 500 travelers per day are allowed including guides and porters. And to climb Waynapicchu and have that spectacular view from above Machu Picchu only 400 people per day are allowed in both shifts, so ask your local operator in Cusco, and organize your visit shifts.
Due to the international organization called UNESCO, the Peruvian government can not take more than three thousand people a day, so they are distributed in two shifts of 200 people to climb the famous mountain called Wayna Picchu, within it are located as the Inca caverns, the Inca bridge, and temple of the moon, so it is very interesting if you have a good physical condition.
If you are going to travel in the high season you must necessarily buy in advance, from May to October, the entrance tickets to Machu Picchu, train tickets and tickets to climb Waynapicchu. If you make the trip without having a travel agency you can buy everything on the Internet through the suppliers but run the risk of being able to arrive on the date indicated because of flights, or protests that usually happen in Peru, however the travel agency can change the date required, is the only advantage.
To visit the main temples and climb Wayna Picchu takes a lot of time, so now it is advisable to visit in two days to Machu Picchu, and another day to Waynapicchu, because a shift of 4 hours is almost not enough, so you should take vacation with more days, if you do not have time then I recommend you just visit Machu Picchu and visit with great tranquility.
If you don’t have much time on your trip to Peru take our Private Full-Day Tour To Machu Picchu all inclusive from start to finish.

Footprints left by the Andean man, footprints that arise from a remote past Machupicchu footprints that we ourselves have traced that extend to the distance of the future, Machupicchu, Name that has already transposed everything possible parallel and is shown as one of these rare phenomena in which the good seems to conjugate with the cosmic in inexplicable terms, unique that has only been interpreted by some poets, Pablo Neruda “heights of Machupicchu”.
Machupicchu (from the Quechua “Old Mountain”), according to documents from the mid-sixteenth century, Machupicchu would have been one of the rest residences of Pachacútec (first Inca emperor, 1438-1470). However, some of its best constructions and the evident ceremonial character of the main access road to the llaqta would demonstrate that it was used as a religious sanctuary.3 Both uses, palace and sanctuary, would not have been incompatible. Some experts seem to have ruled out, on the other hand, a supposed military character, so that the popular descriptions of “fortress” or “citadel” could have been surpassed.
Machupicchu is considered both a masterpiece of architecture and engineering. Its peculiar architectural and landscape features, and the veil of mystery that has woven around much of the literature published on the site, have made it one of the most popular tourist destinations on the planet.
Machupicchu has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1983, as part of an entire cultural and ecological ensemble known as the Historic Sanctuary of Machupicchu.
On July 7, 2007, Machupicchu was declared one of the new wonders of the world in a ceremony held in Lisbon, Portugal, after the participation of 100 million voters from around the world.
