]]>There is a daily hiker limit
The Inca Trails are strictly limited to 500 people per day. Roughly half of these spots are occupied by porters and guides leaving only 250 permits a day for trekkers from all over the world.
The Best Time of Year to Hike the Inca Trail
Peru has two seasons, dry and wet. It’s possible to do the Inca Trails in either season, but each comes with its own pros and cons. During the dry season, which takes place from June to August, the chance of rain is significantly lower, obviously. However, it’s the high tourism season in Peru, so the Inca Trail will be at full capacity every day.

Although the Inca Trail isn’t exactly a walk in the park, you do not have to be the most experienced hiker to do it. Of course, the more fit you are the easier the challenge will be.

The Taj Mahal was made as a tribute of love by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for his deceased wife Mumtaz Mahal. Incidentally, the site itself is just as beautiful as the original reason it was made.

Christ the Redeemer – Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
A statue of Jesus Christ made of reinforced concrete and soapstone, it’s a breathtaking work of art that one can appreciate even if they aren’t necessarily religious.
The Colosseum – Rome, Italy
You can choose to either focus on or ignore the Colosseum’s fascinating, albeit barbaric history—and in the process appreciate how majestic it is.
Chichen Itza – Yucatan, Mexico
This archaeological site was built by the Mayans and is the most visited location in Mexico. Go there to learn more about its fascinating history.
Petra – Ma’an, Jordan
Also called “Rose City” due to its gorgeous color, this archeological city can be explored after entering a 1.2 kilometer-long gorge.

Vatican City
Did you know that there’s a virtual tour of Vatican’s Sistine Chapel, famous for Renaissance frescos? This may be your only chance to see the Sistine Chapel when it’s empty on the inside because it’s typically packed with tourists. Feel free to zoom in to explore individual paintings.
I’ll change it to a fall trip, more time to brush up on my Italian. This is inside the Sistine Chapel from a previous trip.

Visitors have two different companies to choose from for the journey between Cusco and Aguascalientes (the closest town to Machu Picchu): Inca Rail and Peru Rail.
Départ dans un vieux train vers Aguas Calientes pour visiter le Machu Picchu. Ce train ne dépasse pas les 40km/h, et emprunte des chemins atypiques pour rejoindre la vallée Both companies offer various train options for the journey. The most common and most economical, known as the Expedition Train (Peru Rail) and the Voyager Train (Inca Rail) features cabins that have massive windows, providing excellent views of the mountains and valleys that characterize the Andean landscape.
Both companies also offer luxury options that include live entertainment, food, and drinks typical of the area. If you are looking for a nicer option or want to sample the area’s cuisine, these trains are a fantastic option.

]]>For anyone interested in indigenous history and cultures, Machu Picchu is a must-visit in order to gain a deeper understanding, knowledge, and respect for the peoples that once inhabited the Americas before the arrival of European colonists.
Located at an altitude of 2,430 meters on top of a ridge in the Andes, overlooking the Urubamba River valley, Machu Picchu also offers a gorgeous natural landscape to all visitors. The dramatic, snow-capped peaks of the Andes contrast with the fertile green of the relatively low land in which Machu Picchu is located.
#machupicchu #peruMachu Picchu itself was built by the Inca in the 15th century, just before the arrival of Europeans. It is a citadel, meaning that it served as both a town for the culture’s people as well as a defensive lookout from which the tribe could guard themselves from potential invaders.
Many activities happened in Machu Picchu, from agriculture to religious services. Still visible are terraces that once served as a place from growing the crops that fed the residents of the citadel.
The reason that Machu Picchu is so intact and well-preserved is because Spanish conquerors never found it. Although the original residents died because of smallpox brought by the Europeans, it remained undiscovered until 1911.
This wonder is an unforgettable destination for all visitors that are lucky enough to visit it.
