The private guided tour of Machu Picchu lets you explore the Inca citadel at your own pace: just your group, a professional guide in English or Spanish, and the freedom to stop wherever you like, ask questions and take your photos without rushing. The rate is fixed per group, not per person.
History and importance of Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is one of the New 7 Wonders of the World (2007) and a UNESCO World Heritage Site (1983). Built in the 15th century in perfect harmony with the mountain, it is considered one of humanity's most remarkable feats of architecture and engineering: temples, plazas, terraces and drainage systems that still work more than 500 years later. Exploring it with a guide means understanding the history, architecture and Inca worldview behind every wall.
Altitude: the citadel is at 2,430 m (7,970 ft), lower than Cusco (3,400 m / 11,150 ft). Huayna Picchu mountain reaches about 2,720 m (8,920 ft), with steep steps and demanding uphill sections.
