From Aguas Calientes, it's an easy 25-minute bus ride up to the Machu Picchu ruins. This 15th-century Inca citadel is located at 7,970 ft (2,430 m) and is a masterpiece of engineering that served as a sanctuary and retreat for the Incan Emperor Pachacutec and his royal court. Machu Picchu, which means "Old Mountain," is considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and is one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. Built as a seasonal residence for the Inca family, Machu Picchu was rarely home to more than 800 people, and during the royals' absence, a mere 100 servants would remain at the site to maintain the grounds. Machu Picchu fue abandonado 100 años después de su construcción y permaneció en gran medida oculto al mundo exterior hasta principios del siglo XX. Su guía lo guiará por el sitio y le explicará los diferentes edificios y rincones curiosos del complejo de edificios. Aproximadamente un tercio del sitio ha sido reconstruido a su estructura original, brindando a los visitantes una idea de la grandeza y el arte de la ciudadela original. Después del recorrido, tome el autobús de regreso a Aguas Calientes y almuerce en el pintoresco centro de la ciudad. Conéctese a su tren a  Ollantaytambo o Cusco y su traslado de conexión de regreso a su hotel.
