Things To Do in Cusco
Machu Picchu is one of the rare spots on the map every dedicated tourist simply must see in person at least once during their lifetime. This majestic and mysterious empire of Incan ruins is hidden away in the shadow of the Andes Mountains. Expedia.com can transport you to this land of mystery, spiritually, and adventure by helping you plan your trip. Discover how you can experience all the Machu Picchu excursions and activities that will place you at the foot of spectacular ancient ruins. Get ready to pack your bags for Peru because your vacation to Machu Picchu is one that has been centuries in the making.
Don't Miss the Temple of the Sun
Catching a glimpse of the Temple of the Sun is one of the most important things to do in Machu Picchu. This impressive tower was constructed in a circular shape over granite and it houses the sacred sun dial that the Incas used during ceremonial celebrations of the winter solstice each year. The sun dial was central to the agricultural and spiritual practices that defined Incan culture. This importance makes the temple among one of the most popular attractions in Machu Picchu.
Temple of the Moon Offers Serenity Off the Beaten Path
A journey to this secretive set of ruins is one of the Machu Picchu activities not every tourist dares to embark on. The Temple of the Moon requires a 45 minute hike downward from Machu Picchu. The rugged trail used to get to the temple discourages most tourists. Those that do make the journey are treated to silence and serenity. Archeologists only discovered this temple in 1936. It is uncertain exactly what the Incas used it for. A mysterious throne sits in the middle of the ruins and some pockets of the structure are thought to have housed the remains of mummies at one point.
Hike the Sacred Valley
A rugged hike is one of the best ways to walk in the footsteps of the ancient Incas to experience a physical, spiritual, and environmental connection to their civilization. Local tour guides provide tourists with many opportunities to experience guided hikes through the Incan trails that wind through the Andes Mountains before reaching the ruins of Machu Picchu. The hikes are ideal for people with the physical capability and endurance to handle them since the trail is rugged in spots and the journey does take several nights of camping in order to be completed. The essence of the Incas comes alive as you map your way through the terrain they called home.
