Machu Picchu and the Puerta de la Ciudad are two of the most spectacular sites in the Peruvian Andes. Machu Picchu, the incredible lost city, dates back as far as the fifteenth century and is located atop a ridge 2,430 meters above sea level. This breathtaking site was constructed by the Incas and remains one of the most renowned archaeological sites in South America. Puerta de la Ciudad, located nearby to Machu Picchu, is a fortification built by the Incas to guard the entrance to their city. The intricate stonework and carvings of both Machu Picchu and Puerta de la Ciudad make them perfect tours for travelers and photographers alike. There are many other fascinating Incan sites nearby, including the Urubamba River and its stunning valley, as well as plenty of stunning mountain scenery to explore. No trip to Urubamba, Peru, would be complete without a visit to Machu Picchu and Puerta de la Ciudad!
