Machu Picchu facts:
- Machu Picchu is called the “lost city” because the jungle had
literally swallowed it when Yale explorer Hiram Bingham III
“rediscovered” it in 1911. When the overgrown vegetation was removed,
the complex of ruins was revealed.
For
Machu
Picchu Tours we always recommend to spend at least one night in Aguas Calientes, the nearest town (20 min. away). For those who have the
time and are looking for an incredible experience, we recommend to star
two nights. There are all kinds of hotels in Aguas Calientes, from
hostals to 5 stars hotels. Enjoy Machu Picchu!
