Is a package holiday to Machu Picchu worth it?

Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas high in the Peruvian Andes, is one of the greatest archaeological wonders of the world and holds the title of one of the New Seven Wonders. At an altitude of 2,430 meters, the citadel sits on a ridge between two peaks, surrounded by steep ravines and the meandering Urubamba River — a sight that takes your breath away even in photos.

The Incas built this complex around 1450 as a royal residence and ceremonial center. Over 200 stone buildings, terraces, and water channels testify to engineering brilliance: the precisely carved granite stones fit seamlessly together without mortar. The Intihuatana stone, the Incas' sundial, and the Temple of the Sun are masterpieces of astronomical architecture.

The classic Inca Trail leads through misty cloud forest to the Sun Gate in four days, where Machu Picchu reveals itself in all its glory. Alternatively, the train from Cusco to Aguas Calientes conveniently brings visitors to the foot of the mountain. The ascent to Huayna Picchu offers an adventurous perspective from above. Visitors must book tickets in advance with a fixed time slot. May to September is the dry season and the most popular travel time.

Machu Picchu particularly impresses with fascinating culture, breathtaking nature, excellent cuisine. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
