Machu Picchu is known for historic sites, nature, and sightseeing. Your trip includes some of its best attractions: delve into the distant past at Santuario Historico de Machu Picchu, get great views at Intipuncu, take in nature's colorful creations at Mandor, and don't miss a visit to Rocas Sagradas.

Plan my Machu Picchu trip by asking Klarna Trips to come up with tips and suggestions.

Boston, USA to Machu Picchu is an approximately 16.5-hour flight. Cap off your sightseeing on the 7th (Mon) early enough to go by car to Cusco.
