| There are no words to describe the Natural and Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, one of the new 7 wonders of the world; with an altitude of 2800 meters above sea level, mild climate and 2 well-defined seasons - the rainy season and the dry season - very few places can compete with this rich valley, chosen by the ancient Peruvians. Nowadays a "MUST" among tourist destinations, where you can enjoy the beauty of the landscapes, the rich history and culture of our country and experience real adventure. |
