Gay Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is one of the world’s most treasured historical sites, dating back to the 15th century. Known as the “Lost City of the Incas”, this gem is one of the most familiar icons of the ancient Incan world. Because it was abandoned during the time of the Spanish Conquest, Machu Picchu was only recently discovered as a site rich in Incan culture.

Machu Picchu is accessible by foot or by rail from Cuzco or Aguas Calientes. The Incan Trail will take you directly there, or it might take a few hours in the sunshine so bring your sunscreen! If you plan on traveling in this region during the wet season, it might be best to leave a few extra days in case of delays. Otherwise, the dry season is a great but busy bet.

There are various sites to see in the park of Machu Picchu. Sun Gate is often visitors’ first experience of the Incan ruins, and the various Temples around the park will leave you absolutely in awe. There are excellent walks and hikes in and around the area so be sure to take advantage of the natural beauty here. Many of them even take you off the beaten path and away from the touristy crowds so you can have a more peaceful Machu Piccu experience. There is no food or beverages allowed inside the park itself, but there are a few concession stands and restaurants nearby to satiate your appetites! Feed your mind, body, and soul at this beautiful vacation spot that will change your perspective of humanity forever.
