The case for Machu Picchu
Five centuries on, the citadel still holds its ridge above the Urubamba: temples, terraces and stairways at 7,970 feet, with Huayna Picchu standing guard behind them and cloud drifting up from the river gorge below.
Arrive by train through the gorge to Machu Picchu Town, or walk in over the pass and watch the ruins open out beneath the Sun Gate at first light. Entry, train and guide come arranged as one piece of every trip.
