We had the 4 day trek to here, the most astonishing end to a wonderful journey. Enjoyed every second of it.
Make sure you get there as earliest as possible; we got there around 6am and spent about 4 hrs.

Absolutely jawdropping awesome, it is about 15min of stairs to reach the top. You CAN take snacks and water in Plastic bottles they don't search your bag. The drive up with the bus is also beautiful but a little scary as the road is narrow with no barriers and a steep view down. I believe this is the most spectacular wonder of the world. Best to take the 6am tour then there are not a lot of tourists. Come see peru offered an amazing private tour for us.

No wonder it is a world wonder! We visited during the rainy season and yet were lucky to get great views! Definitely carry a rain coat and hat. You never know how long a certain weather will last.

Very well maintained and breathtaking! They have so many picture perfect spots. A bit of steep steps - so you need to be decently fit to be able to do the circuit. It took us around 2.5hrs with very generous breaks and stopping for many pictures and tour guide. Highly recommend getting a tour guide (around $80 USD for a private guide) to make the experience more enjoyable and you can soak in the Inka experience and understand the most city. It is very well maintained. It was warm and sunny in the morning. Recommend going early. We till the 7am ticket but reached there around 8am so that fog would have cleared. It was a picture perfect day for us. I heard you can go a little later if there is fog. Make sure to take pictures with the llamas up there.

A must in the bucket list to visit this iconic wonder Awesome and spectacular scenery Took 4 hrs to reach the top from Cusco by car train and bus The journey is long and tedious but it definitely worth the trip to see this wonder

Great experience at this iconic site. Important to note it wasn't 'discovered' recently, however, was known to locals for yonks. Be prepared for a decent walk, even if you use the train to get up

A place like no other gives you a vibe lost in time the city and the architecture is amazing. Get up really early so you can see the place without tourists. Also be careful which circuit you will book be aide you can miss the postcard picture. Book at least a month before so you can be sure to find tickets. A must see one in your life!
