Machu Picchu is one of the most iconic places in South America, and a must-see for all travelers to Peru. Perched high atop a mountain ridge in the Andes, the ruin consists of terraces, temples, and a set of Inca stone walls that fill the sides of the peak's steep slopes. UNESCO declared Machu Picchu a World Heritage Site in 1983 and it is now Peru's most visited tourist destination. The views from the city are incredibly stunning and the complex remains mysterious and breathtakingly beautiful. A visit to Machu Picchu is a truly unforgettable experience. As Machu Picchu has limited visitor numbers, it's wise to book your ticket as far in advance as possible.
