Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is one of Peru’s most biodiverse areas, featuring over 60 archaeological sites over 37,302 ha of land. Arguably, its most important archaeological site is Llaqta, a legacy of the Incan civilization. Although abandoned during the late 16th century, this site remains well-preserved today.

There are two main sectors here: agricultural and urban. Agrarian terraces are found in the former, while the latter features many legendary structures.
You can explore the ruins and learn more about the Incan civilization by going on a guided tour. If you’re into outdoor adventure, you can hike in the Andes Mountains and camp by nightfall. Just make sure to book well in advance.
To see Machu Picchu in all its glory, you can climb to the top of Huayna Picchu. You can also see a couple of places of worship, such as the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of Condor. Another iconic point of interest is Intihuatana, a massive solar clock.
