When we think about\u00a0Peru<\/a>, we often evoke images of the Inca Empire and their legacy: Machu Picchu ruins. The so-called \u201cLost City of the Incas\u201d is one of the favourite tourist destinations for people who\u00a0travel<\/a>\u00a0to Latin America. In fact, it is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, according to a worldwide internet poll of 2007, and UNESCO declared Machu Picchu a World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n

\u201cFew romances can ever surpass that of the granite citadel on top of the beetling precipices of Machu Picchu, the crown of Inca Land\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Hiram Bingham<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take a coat, as the weather has constant changes<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Most people, especially tourists from USA or Europe, associate Peru with warm weather, but if you want to be prepared, include a jacket, or even a coat (a comfy one so you won\u2019t be overdressed!), as the weather can change dramatically during some hours. There might be some \u201ccompany\u201d along, yes mosquitoes can appear too, so wear light colors and long clothes just to be in the safe site.<\/strong>\u00a0You can also buy repellent to avoid biting bugs. Believe me, there are so much to enjoy during the trip so don\u2019t let your luggage stop you from that! You will be more comfortable if you just take a backpack, it\u2019s better in order To walk and move easily for hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Love adrenaline? Hike Huayna Picchu<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
One of the best attractions of the zone is Huayna Picchu, a marvelous mountain that rises over the ruins, with spectacular sights. On top, the path is very narrow and very steep, so prepare yourself to feel the adrenaline running through your veins!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Consider bringing some \u201cgoodies\u201d for the Day<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
In case you want to stay the whole day there, be sure that you have a good backpack with chips and drinks. Water will be helpful, as it is important to hydrate yourself during the visit.\u00a0To be protected from the sun, we also recommend to wear a hat and sunglasses. Some visitors also take an umbrella.\u00a0<\/strong>Walking sticks are not allowed inside the area, but you can use a stick with a rubber tip, which is more friendly with the place.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\n

Remember that the toilets are outside and the place is bigger than it seems<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

We highly recommend to visit the restroom at the entrance, once you enter the enclosure you will not have the chance to go to the services. Being inside Machu Picchu, is so spectacular that you can even forget what time it is. The experience itself will take your breath away<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Want to have the special Machu Picchu stamp?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

You can ask for your special\u00a0stamp<\/a>\u00a0to add to your passport. You will find a little office close to the entrance, where normally there are some people waiting, but the wait is worthy, as it is a good travel souvenir.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
