This place was a palace in Inca times and is well preserved with high Inca structures made of stone and adobe (mudbricks). The beauty of these ruins is that they are built on the mountain top, with clear blue skies above and many streams running on either side.

This is the last stop before getting to the famous archaeological complex. Find crafts, books, restaurants, and array of hotels in this buzzling town. The bus zigzags up the steep side of the mountain for nearly 20 minutes. The pre-Hispanic engineering marvel unveils itself gradually; this was the site Pachacutec Inca (1438-1572) chose as royal retreat and where his "malqui" or mummified remains were to be worshiped. Machu Picchu or "Old Mountain" is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders, yet the traveler senses a beauty unmatched by these or any other title. How was such a work accomplished? Granite stone buildings that seem to naturally sprout from the earth instead of being constructed on it. Andean mountain aesthetics can truly be appreciated at Machu Picchu; explore the site at your own pace. Visit the Royal Mausoleum or take the path to the Inca Bridge, or the central flight of steps to reach Intihuatana. Or simply contemplate the sacred geography all around; the Urubamba nearly encircling the site and Mount Salkantay ("Wild"), overlooking the citadel from the southeast. 

Set menu lunch will be served at Tinkuy restaurant in Belmond Sanctuary lodge, besides Machu Picchu citadel.
