Weather of Arabia - The Inca Trail trip to Machu Picchu is one of the most popular trips in Peru and South America, and indeed in the whole world. It is a wonderful tourist experience, and perhaps these photos will inevitably tempt you to go through it one day.

Welcome to the Inca Trail , one of the most famous hiking trails in the world.

It is recommended to stay a few days in Cusco or Ollantay Tambo in preparation for the walk to Machu Picchu.

The Inca Trail consists of three overlapping trails, each of which varies in duration and level of difficulty ( 12 tips and tricks ).

You'll walk two to seven days, enduring intense climbs, potential illnesses, and cold nights.

You'll also find the most beautiful views, even the locals are fascinated by and don't always get to see.

There's a lot of alpaca here, a mammal that lives high in the Andes Mountains in South America.

Andes Mountains.. Here you will find some amazing scenery that can only be described as imaginary.

People have their own customs and traditions, so you have to get a souvenir from here.

If you don't feel like hiking, the train will take you from Cusco to Machu Picchu.

The trip takes about six hours during which you can witness beautiful and amazing views.

No matter how you get there, you'll never forget that first glimpse of the lost city of the Incas .

These massive monuments on the eastern slopes of the Andes were built for Emperor Pachacuti and his nobles.

Perhaps it was built as an astronomical observatory, or perhaps only for worship, as some historians and Peruvians believe.

Historians agree that it was built when the Inca Empire reached its peak during the 15th and 16th centuries.

People say that it was abandoned only 100 years after its construction, and attribute the reason to the Spanish or the smallpox epidemic.

Whatever it is, the majestic complex is 8,000 feet above sea level and spreads across five miles.

It contains more than 150 buildings of baths, tombs, and temples across different locations and levels.

Terraces, gardens, temples, stone houses, even stairs and aqueducts to the hillside.

Machu Picchu was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983

The Sacred Valley was also considered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.
