Machu Picchu is an ancient Inca citadel located in the Peruvian Andes, at 2,430 m (7,972 ft) above sea level. Built in the 15th century, it stands out for its impressive stone architecture, mountain landscapes and great historical and cultural value. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. This program combines it with the Sacred Valley (2,800 to 3,000 m / 9,190 to 9,840 ft above sea level, depending on the area), the agricultural and spiritual heart of the Inca Empire, so that in just two days you experience both extremes of Inca greatness: agricultural engineering at altitude and the most famous citadel in the world.
