15 days in Machu Picchu Itinerary

A symbol of the Incan civilization, the abandoned city of Machu Picchu represents a must-see on a Peru vacation.

Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Santuario Historico de Machu Picchu and Archaeological Park Ollantaytambo. Get outdoors at Salinas de Maras and Banos Termales de Cocalmayo. Explore Machu Picchu's surroundings by going to Cerveceria del Valle Sagrado (in Urubamba), Zipline (in Santa Teresa) and Ollantaytambo (Inca Bridge, Yacuruna Venta de Artesana, &more). And it doesn't end there: delve into the distant past at Moray, admire the landmark architecture of Iglesia San Martin de Tours, browse the eclectic array of goods at Mercado de Artesanias, and examine the collection at Museo de Sitio Manuel Chavez Ballon.
