Location the Machu Picchu 2 Days
Esta diferencia hace que muchos viajeros experimenten un alivio al descender de la ciudad imperial a Machu Picchu, ya que el riesgo de mal de altura se reduce considerablemente.
A pesar de estar en una zona montañosa, Machu Picchu no se encuentra a una altitud extrema dentro de los Andes peruanos, lo que facilita la visita para la mayoría de los turistas. La ciudadela está rodeada de imponentes montañas cubiertas de vegetación, creando un paisaje espectacular que combina la majestuosidad de los picos andinos con la exuberancia de la selva alta.
Su ubicación estratégica no solo la protegió en tiempos incas, sino que también ofrece vistas panorámicas impresionantes y un ambiente místico que cautiva a quienes la visitan.
- Duration: 2 days
- Altitude: 2,430 m
