It has also left the world with an unsolved mystery of how the Incas transported so many giant stones hundreds of years ago to mountains more than 2,000 meters above sea level. Machu Picchu is the last Inca city to resist the invasion of colonists.

We will take you along the maze-like ancient city walls to find traces of ancient times, walk on the ancient Inca Trail to experience the mystery and vicissitudes of Machu Picchu, and climb to the sacred Gate of the Sun to overlook the panoramic view of the ancient city.
