The spectacular Incan city of Machu Picchu is a must-do for visitors to Peru. “Discovered” by American Hiram Bingham in 1911, the 15th Century site sits 2430 metres above sea level. Visitors can follow the Inca Trail, a multi-day trek through the mountains passing other ruins to Machu Picchu's sun gate. The growing popularity of these attractions has seen limits on the number of visitors allowed, so plan ahead.
