Machu Picchu: One of the Seven Wonders of the World with Única

Hidden high in the Peruvian Andes, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and wrapped in clouds, lies one of the world’s most iconic landmarks - Machu Picchu. Recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, this mystical Inca citadel is a must-see. 

Built in the 15th century and lost to the outside world for centuries, Machu Picchu is considered the crown jewel of the Inca Empire. It is not only an archaeological masterpiece, but also a site of deep cultural and spiritual significance. In fact, it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for its political, religious, and administrative importance during the Incan era.

When planning your next program to Peru, count on Única’s deep local expertise to deliver a truly unforgettable visit to this bucket-list destination.

The Machu Picchu Experience

Getting to Machu Picchu becomes part of the adventure when guests travel on the Hiram Bingham, one of the most elegant trains in the world. The 3.5-hour ride winds through breathtaking Andean landscapes, passing rivers, valleys, and cloud forests. The train accommodates 84 guests across two vintage-style carriages, each holding 42 passengers. 

The Lost City of the Incas

Once guests arrive, the magic truly begins. Walk in the footsteps of ancient Inca priests and engineers as they explore the stone terraces, temples, and astronomical observatories of Machu Picchu. The views - a breathtaking blend of architecture and nature will stay with your guests forever.

Optional: Hike Huayna Picchu

For those seeking an extra dose of adventure, consider adding the Huayna Picchu hike. This steep mountain rises just behind Machu Picchu and is visible in most iconic photos of the site.

In Quechua, the indigenous language of the Andes, Huayna Picchu means “Young Peak.” The 2.5-hour round-trip hike is a thrilling climb with rewarding panoramic views over the citadel and surrounding valleys. Many trekkers say this is one of the absolute highlights of their visit.
