TOURIST INFORMATION TOURS PERU MACHUPICCHU
Information Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu Tours:

Among the Sacred Valley and wonderful citadel of Machu Picchu, the Incas built a stone road that led pilgrims to the sacred precincts of Machu Picchu tours. Today we will visit a section of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu will take us about five hours, amid a landscape of cloud forest, where archeological remains of great importance stand as Chachabamba and Wiñaywayna are- Tour Peru Machupicchu. Then we continue walking to the place called Intipunko, meaning Puerta del Sol, designed by the Incas for a stunning panoramic view from the top of the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu tours. Overnight in a splendid hotel in Machu Picchu. Optional: Ceremony of offering to the Pachamama or Mother Earth (payment to the Earth) Tour Peru Machupicchu.

CULTURAL HERITAGE MACHU PICCHU:

The sheltered environmental conditions and benign climate which protect relict bird species and ensure predictable crops probably facilitated the development of human civilisation in the Andes based on a well developed sustainable irrigated agriculture on the mountain terraces -Tour Peru Machupicchu. Machu Picchu is at the junction of the humid lower Urubamba basin and the fertile Vilcanota valley machu that was the centre and breadbasket of the Inca culture (Walker & Fjeldsa, 2001). It was founded by the powerful reforming chief Pachacuteq who established his rule in 1438 as the ninth Inca, Yupanqui, over the fertile valley and the great city of Cucco where his successors ruled their vast empire of Tawantinsuyos until the Spanish invasion in 1534. Machu Picchu was built as a royal retreat, religious sanctuary and mausoleum for the mummified Inca, a natural fortress which was preserved by its mysterious sudden abandonment, inaccessibility and remoteness. It was reached from Cusco by the Inca Trail (Camino Real) across the mountains above the terraced Urubamba valley with its lesser settlements of Pisac and Ollantaytambo – Tour Peru Machupicchu.

The site, La Cuidadela inca Machu Picchu, of about 500 square hectares, sits on a narrow saddle between the humpbacked lower Machu Picchu (old mountain in Quechua) and the pinnacle of Huayna Picchu (young mountain). It is divided between the buildings of the court and the houses of the artisans, site guardians and cutivators with food stores and agricultural terraces clinging to the mountain slope below – Tour Peru Machupicchu. The ceremonial town site falls into two sections, the upper (hanan) lies to the west, with the palace, mausoleum, sun temple and the Intihuatana solar calendar stone for making astronomical observations -Tour Peru Machupicchu.

The lower section to the east (hurin) had the quarters for the religious and workers. They were separated by a long open plaza and two smaller squares machu. At present 172 enclosures are connected by 109 stairways and stone channels for water and fountains (Mujica. 2001) Tour Peru Machupicchu. The dry-stone masonry is massive yet refined and, for the nobles’ buildings, even polished. Burial cave chambers were also made at the base of Huayna Picchu. The number of residents when the court was present is variously estimated at 750 to more than a 1,000 but few stayed on in the wet season. It was probably last used as a stronghold by Pachacuteq’s great grandson, Manco Inca during his defiance of the Spaniards. The site was never found by the Spanish, and, concealed by encroaching forest, known only to a few locals, was only rediscovered in 1911 by the American Hiram Bingham of Yale University, who revisited and published on the site for the next five years – Tour Peru Machupicchu.

MACHU PICCHU LOCAL HUMAN POPULATION:

The original inhabitants were skilled irrigators who built terraces and drainage channels that extend long distances across irregular ground and still exist in many places. The population is of the Quechuaspeaking descendents of the pre-Columbian inhabitants who live in seven small communities and number about 1,200 within the Sanctuary itself. The local population, including Aguas Calientes (Machupicchu village), was 3,500 in 2004 (Shoobridge et al.) Tour Peru Machupicchu. At present over half the Sanctuary machu (20,000 ha) is settled by campesino communities and farmers, especially on the lower slopes which are routinely burned to stop encroachment by the forest and to provide pasture. Much burning occurs for no apparent reason in August and September, perhaps in the belief that the smoke causes cloud build up and the onset of much needed rains (Manu Wildlife Centre, n.d.). Agriculture, for maize, potatoes, yucca and fruit, and the cash crops of coca, coffee and tea, with grazing mainly for small animals but also for llamas, cattle and sheep (some 1,400 in 2004) form the traditional support of the people. But the local economy is increasingly augmented by tourism -Tour Peru Machupicchu.

Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu village) 8 km away in the valley below, sprang up as an unplanned shanty town after the railway arrived to service tourists but is now the district administrative capital with growing strongly pressed claims to the facilities and use of 40% of the Sanctuary’s machu budget Tour Peru Machupicchu. The district is the fastest growing area in the country, rising from 1,303 inhabitants in 1993 to 3,436 in 2005; half remain very poor and half are migrants, coming in for the tourist season machu. But in this temporary population there is no traditional culture to instil respect for the sacred place (UNESCO-IUCN-ICOMOS, 2007) Tour Peru Machupicchu.

Fast unplanned growth without controls or improvements in infrastructure or services such as for disposal of wastes is aggravating the problems of landslides and threats to health. Cusco, 75 km southeast, is a city of over 100,000 inhabitants and the administrative and commercial centre for much of the Urubamba basin – Tour Peru Machupicchu.

MACHU PICCHU VISITORS – VISITOR FACILITIES:

Machu Picchu is Peru’s most popular tourist destination, growing from 180,000 visitors in the 1980s to over 400,000 in 2003, averaging 3-400 a day but some 1,500-2,000 a day in the high season and likely to increase (Shoobridge et al.,2004). There were 691,623 visitors in 2006 (75% foreign) and the number is likely to rise (UNESCO-IUCN-ICOMOS, 2007) – Tour Peru Machupicchu.

The Management Plan advised that to reduce environmental deterioration, the archaeological site should not support more than 917 visitors per day and no more than 385 visitors at any one time The INC recommend a maximum carrying capacity of 2,000 visitors a day with an increased entry fee machu. The government favors the higher number of 3,400 (UNESCO,2002). A suggested daily limit of 2,500 visitors paying a higher entrance fee may be enforced (Leffel,2005). Recent listing as a new ‘Wonder of the World’ will increase tourist numbers – Tour Peru Machupicchu.

Visitors generate some $40 million a year. Recent past growth led to a proliferation of uncontrolled and exploitative tour operators and many overcrowding problems, but the site is now better regulated by the government. Cusco is three hours away by railway, an approach which facilitates control of visitors and roadside developments. Access is by bus from Puente Ruinas station up a zigzag track in groups led by approved operators, or on foot, by a 2 to 4-day journey along 38 km of the Inca Trail. machu This carries 70,000 visitors a year and is now limited by permit to 500 a day in groups of 30 – Tour Peru Machupicchu.

The preservation of roadside Polylepis groves from being used for firewood also preserves some of the country’s rarest birds. In 2007 a new bridge and road at Carrilluchayoc in the buffer zone, to the growing village of Santa Teresa, to the west, has provided an alternative access to the site and raised fears of destructive overcrowding. At the ruins there is one hotel, a museum, ticket office and overnight campsites machu, also a steep stepped path up to the top of HuaynaPicchu. Tourist facilities are being developed in Aguas Calientes instead of on the mountain itself, and there is a new visitor centre, hotels and restaurants there. 561 rooms were available in 2007 with 16 eating places, employing some 300 people (UNESCO-IUCN-ICOMOS, 2007). Helicopter access was restored in 2008 – Tour Peru Machupicchu.

Tours in Machu Picchu Peru – Travel Guide.- A guide to the culturally rich and amazing world wonder of Machu Picchu, Recommended by “Tours Peru Machu Picchu – Sacred Land Adventures” the travel experts at Peru.

Introduction tours in Machu Picchu:

World renowned for breathtaking architecture and scenery, Travel Machu Picchu is a must see for any visitor the country in Peru. Every corner of these beautiful ruins Machu Picchu is filled with intrigue and display the brilliance of Inca imagination. They fit in perfectly with the towering green peaks that surround the citadel making its seclusion and serenity both humbling and thought provoking.

Tours in Machu Picchu has recently been voted as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in recognition of this magnificent accomplishment of human endeavor. It now receives thousands of visitors every year who all clamor to see the citadel Machupicchu with their own eyes. Even after exploring the ruins it is difficult to imagine how they were ever constructed. This always leaves visitors with a great deal of dignified respect for the Inca Empire, which although crumbled in the wake of Spanish weapons and disease over four hundred years ago, still leaves its mark on the society and culture of modern day Peru. To see this Empire at its finest, make a tour of Machu Picchu a part of your South America vacation in Peru.

Tours in Machu Picchu the Geography and Climate:

Tours in Machu Picchu is situated in the convergence between mountain and jungle in the Cusco Province of Peru about 2,450 meters (7,710 feet) above sea level. The city rests between two mountains high above the Urubamba river valley. It is strategically located with steep slopes on all sides and an impassable mountain standing behind it. It was accessed by the Incas from Cusco using the Inca trail to Machu Picchu.

THE PERUVIAN ANDES AND AMAZON HAVE 2 MAIN SEASONS: THE RAINY SEASON AND THE DRY SEASON. THE RAINY SEASON IS BETWEEN OCTOBER AND APRIL, WITH THE DRY SEASON GENERALLY RUNNING BETWEEN MAY AND SEPTEMBER. DURING THE DRY SEASON, TEMPERATURES CAN RUN FROM ANYWHERE BETWEEN 12 C (50 F) AT NIGHT TO THE MID 30’S C (UPPER 80S F) DURING THE DAY.

Not surprisingly the dry season is the best time to travel to Machu Picchu and this coincides with summer holidays in Europe and North America. July and August are the busiest months and to avoid large crowds in Machu Picchu, people should aim to travel to Machu Picchu outside of these months.

Tours in Machu Picchu with Transportation:

Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo):

For those looking to spend more time at Machu Picchu, or to arrive at the ruins incas early in the morning, a stop over at Aguas Calientes (Machupicchu pueblo) is almost indispensable. In fact, the town was built almost entirely for this very purpose and it is to here that all train services from Cusco and the Sacred Valley travel.

Machu Picchu Transport:

There are various classes of trains that will take you from Cusco or Ollantaytambo to the station at Aguas Calientes (pueblo of Machupicchu);
the journey usually lasts around 4 hours from Cusco and 2 hours from Ollantaytambo.
For those who like to travel from Cusco in style, the Train Hiram Bingham express is a marvelous engine complete with first class service. The interior is exquisitely decorated with polished wood and plush seating. The train includes two cars for dining, an Observation Bar and a Kitchen Car where delicious meals are prepared. This is definitely the most luxurious way to tours in Machu Picchu.
The alternative Vistadome service Machu Picchu allows travelers to enjoy a spectacular panoramic view throughout their journey through large windows located on all sides of the carriages. Light snacks and refreshments are provided during the trip to Machu Picchu and there is also entertainment on offer.
A more affordable option is the Backpacker service to Machu Picchu which still has fantastic views although not with the same comfort and service.

History of tours in Machu Picchu:

The date of Machu Picchu’s construction is thought to have been around 1430. Many theorists poise that it was abandoned less than 100 years afterwards and that the region was uninhabited by the time of the Spanish Conquest, perhaps a result of the onslaught of Small Pox that reached Peru before the Spaniards themselves. This depopulation would partly explain the inability of the conquistadores to easily track the site down and it remained untouched and unseen by Europeans for centuries. The fact that it was exempt from Spanish plunder makes it one of the most complete sets of Inca ruins in the country.

Almost 400 years after the fall of the Incas, Yale scholar Hiram Bingham was led to the ruins by locals to the area during his search for the last Inca Outpost of Vilcabamba. At first he thought he had found his prize – and understandably so – but after further research it became apparent that this was not the case. Bingham had in fact already visited what is now believed to be Vilcabamba, but he had dismissed these ruins as he was not aware of their full extent, which today is still engulfed by thick jungle.

Since his discovery of Machu Picchu, the site has been cleared and has dramatically risen in profile. It is now considered to be the most important archeological site in the Americas Machupicchu, and one of the most significant in the world. Archeological discoveries continue to be made around the site of Machu Picchu tours, and its historical importance is recognized by UNESCO who declared it a World Heritage Site in 1983. It has also been named as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and has become an extremely popular tourist destination drawing crowds of people every single day.

So why exactly was Machu Picchu built? A myriad of theories have been given in an attempt to answer this question tours in Machu Picchu.

Tours in Machu Picchu.- These range from it having importance as a sacred religious city to it being a high security prison. The most likely explanation of Machu Picchu, however, is that it was built as a spiritual and ceremonial retreat for the Inca Pachacutec during an expansionist period of the Inca Empire in the mid fifteenth century. At its height, it is even thought that this was the center of a buzzing economic region that could have been populated more than just within the city Machu Picchu.

Tours in Machu Picchu with Layout:

Regardless of its purpose, what is clear is that a large degree of intelligence went into the careful planning and construction of the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. Closer examination of the ruins reveals that much thought was given to the different elements of the city and their arrangement in relation both to one another and to the surrounding natural environment to Machu Picchu.

tours in Machu Picchu is split into two sections by a grassy central plaza. Generally speaking, to the east of the plaza are a variety of religiously important structures. On the western side are mostly civil structures that would have been the living area of workers in the city of Machu Picchu.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the ruins is the high concentration of important religious structures in Machu Picchu. These indicate that the site almost certainly had some sort of religious significance. Most of the main structures are concentrated around the Sacred Plaza of Machu Picchu.

Temple of the Sun in Machu Picchu:

The importance of this temple in Machu Picchu is apparent at first as it features the most immaculate and precise stone masonry to be found on the whole site Machu Picchu and it is the only part of the ruin to feature a curved wall. The real significance of the sun temple however lies in its alignment with the heavens. The center stone of the temple is angled with an adjacent window in such a way that the light of the sunrise on the winter solstice in June illuminates it. This has led archeologists to believe that the temple may have acted as an astronomical observation center in Machu Picchu.

Temple of the Three Windows in Machu Picchu:

Perhaps the most striking portion of the ruins in Machu Picchu, the temple of the Three Windows is another testament to the geometric precision of Inca architecture. It is also a wonderful example of how their architecture echoed the surrounding environment: each of the three gaping trapezoidal windows frames a separate peak on the horizon in Machu Picchu.

Principal Temple in Machu Picchu:

This is named due to its size and complexity and that it stands above other areas of the citadel Machu Picchu. A diamond shaped stone is incorporated in its center which is said to depict the Southern Cross constellation. It includes a sub temple called the Sacristy where it is believed that priests prepared before they performed sacred rites and ceremonies in Machu Picchu.

Inihuatana in Machu Picchu:

Also known as “the hitching post of the sun”, this magnificent carved rock was symbolically tied to the sun on the winter solstice in Machu Picchu. This stone and others like it are thought to have been used for making astrological observations and for calculating important phases of the year. Archeologists continue to explore the various angles and surfaces of the rock to derive how this Inihuatana and others like it were used in this regard.

Tours in Machu Picchu – Civil Structures:

Agricultural Sector in Machu Picchu:

Upon entry to the ruins, visitors are first greeted by the extensive Agricultural terracing that flank the southern side of Machu Picchu. These grand stone terraces would have been used to cultivate maize for consumption by the entire population of the city. Modern surveys reveal that the city would have sustained a population of 1,000 people through the crops that would have been grown here. The terracing is so durable that locals were still farming centuries later when Bingham arrived in 1913.

Living Quarters in Machu Picchu:

A large part of the city acted as living quarters for the many people who permanently lived at the site, and several houses were constructed in this respect. The Eastern side of the ruins appears as a labyrinth of such buildings which include terraced housing alongside larger communal areas that were used for preparing food, cooking and dining.

There was also a section built to accommodate visiting Royalty; the royal quarters can be found amidst the cluster of religious structures on the western side of the ruins in Machu Picchu.

These are distinguished by their spaciousness and by large stone lintels above the doors which it is known was a characteristic in the homes of more powerful people.

HuaynaPicchu in Machu Picchu:

Overlooking the ruins of Machu Picchu is the famous mountain Huaynapicchu, an important component of the site’s stunning visual location Machu Picchu. The peak of this mountain is covered with a remarkable set of ruins that are believed to be a special retreat for privileged priests and religious figures. The narrow terracing here is thought to have contained a colorful floral arrangement that could be marveled at by people in the city below.

An Inca path leads up the side of Huaynapicchu that can be scaled in around an hour. Although the path is steep and narrow at times, this can still be completed by those travelers who don’t high levels of fitness. The view from the top of Huaynapicchu is well worth the climb; a fantastic aerial view of the entire Machu Picchu ruins and their surroundings can be admired, right down to the Urubamba River winding in the valley far below.

Currently, the only way to climb Huaynapicchu is to purchase a special ticket turist before you arrive at the site in Machu Picchu. It is recommended that you purchase your Huaynapicchu ticket jointly with your general Machu Picchu ticket. At the time of purchase, you will have to decide if you want to hike the trail at 7 a.m. or 10 a.m. Two hundred people are allowed to enter during each time slot, for a total of 400 visitors per day. Tickets that include Huaynapicchu access will be slightly more expensive than regular Machu Picchu entrance tickets.

Shopping in Machu Picchu:

SHOPPING IN AGUAS CALIENTES AND MACHU PICCHU IS AGAIN RELATIVELY INFLATED IN COMPARISON TO OTHER PARTS OF PERU. SHOPPERS ARE ADVISED TO BUY SOUVENIRS IN THE SACRED VALLEY OR CUSCO WHERE THEY WILL USUALLY FIND FAIRER PRICES AND BETTER VALUE FOR MONEY.

That said, there are some good markets around the train station and along the Urubamba selling paraphernalia such as hand-woven Andean textiles, Alpaca sweaters and scarves, ponchos, handcrafts and the ubiquitous Andean Hat. Travelers can haggle with vendors to try and bring the prices down. Check out our tours Machu Picchu for some Haggling Tips .

Tours in Machu Picchu Nightlife:

There is a scattering of bars and even a nightclub in Aguas Calientes (pueblo of Machupicchu) for those who can’t resist a quick boogie.

Nothing is particularly spectacular however and the prices can be much steeper than in other parts of Peru.

Tours in Machu Picchu – Health and Safety:

It is best to drink bottled water while traveling to Machu Picchu as with anywhere through South America to prevent contracting any harmful parasites or water-borne illnesses. If no bottled water is available, be sure to travel with water purification tablets or boil water for 15 minutes to eliminate any harmful bacteria in travel in Peru.

Many travelers are affected by the high altitude in the region inca of Cusco. It is best to avoid caffeine, smoking, or alcohol as this will amplify the effect of dehydration that altitude often induces – tours in Machu Picchu – be sure to drink lots of water as well. Munching on coca leaves or drinking coca tea is a good remedy for soroche (Altitude sickness).

Although Aguas Calientes (pueblo of Machupicchu) isn’t too bad for crime (it is virtually non-existent in Machu Picchu), travelers should always remain wary of thieves. This particularly applies when in large crowds of people such as at the train station where bag-slashing or pick pocketing can be easily concealed. Store valuable items in your hotel safe and always keep an eye on your bags – never leave bags unattended – travels in Peru.

RUMBO A MACHU PICCHU El camino del inca

QHAPAQ ÑAN. El sistema vial inca conectaba a la ciudadela con la capital Cusco. Existen dos accesos de ingreso a Machu Picchu. Llegar a la ciudadela incaica, utilizando el Camino Inca, es una experiencia inolvidable. La ruta atraviesa hermosos paisajes que van desde las alturas andinas hasta la selva nubosa. Un conjunto de escenarios que lo hacen un lugar único, incomparable.

Sí, está bien, lo entiendo, no es una competencia, pero igual, pues, da un poquito de vergüenza quedarse atrás, en la cola o, como suele decirse, último y dando pena. Eso muele el orgullo, aunque al principio uno ni siquiera se da cuenta. Total, es normal y entendible que un puñado de viajeros con pinta de trotamundos, te pase sin problema y termine sacándote ventaja. Sí, está bien, lo entiendo. Eso no me preocupa. Lo asumo con hidalguía y como algo lógico. 

El "roche" vendría después, cuando empezaron a superarme unos turistas mofletudos, varias jovencitas debiluchas y aparentemente frágiles, un par de ancianos encorvados, y, lo que es un auténtico escándalo, un guía sacrificado que le hace "caballito" a uno de sus exhaustos pasajeros. Me pasan todos. Jóvenes, adultos, niños. Y eso "marca pica" porque tengo que defender mi honor de andariego, mi condición de local, de anfitrión o, acaso, de lejano descendiente de los constructores de esta vía pedestre en la que –sí, ya sé, lo entiendo– no se realiza ninguna competencia sino, más bien, una especie de peregrinación cosmopolita a una ciudad que hasta hace un siglo estuvo perdida. Eso es lo que dicen, aunque no tengo ni la más mínima idea de cómo diablos se pudo perder una ciudad tan grande, tan bella, tan maravillosa. 

Tampoco quiero averiguarlo, menos en este instante en el que lo único perdido que me interesa recuperar, es mi aire; que desapareció en uno de los tantos ascensos del Camino Inca a Machu Picchu, una de las travesías más famosas del planeta. Alto ahí. Cómo es eso de que me falta el aire. Pucha, mejor explico la situación y de una vez le tapo la boca a los mal pensados que nunca faltan ni escasean, más bien sobran. Ahora sus mentes escabrosas deben estar elucubrando pérfidamente. Pero lo siento, muchachos, no es lo que creen, es solo un episodio temporal, cortesía de una ruta excitante y retadora. De un sendero que se abre paso por fabulosos escenarios geográficos que son selva y cordillera, Andes y Amazonía. De un tramo históricamente aventurero que comienza en Piscacucho (kilómetro 82 de la vía férrea Cusco-Aguas Calientes), donde hay un cartel que da la bienvenida, donde hay un puente colgante que vuela sobre el cauce sagrado del río Urubamba. Es emocionante estar aquí. Ser uno de los privilegiados que llegará a Machu Picchu caminando, no en tren y luego en bus, ni trepando esa trocha que une el pueblo de Aguas Calientes con el complejo arqueológico. 

"Así no hay vacilón. Mejor es a pie. Cuatro días. 42 kilómetros conquistando abras, bajando por quebradas", te motivaría el guía antes de dar el primer paso. Si, está bien, lo entiendo, le doy la razón y me atrevo a agregar –sin ser guía o siendo más bien casi un perpetuo perdido– que su arenga se quedó corta como mi físico. A él le faltó mencionar las noches de plácido sueño bajo las estrellas, las visiones espléndidas del nevado La Verónica, el avance heroico hacia el abra de Warmiwañusca (mujer muerta), el punto de mayor altura de todo el periplo. Sí, está bien, lo entiendo y lo he sentido o sufrido o las dos cosas juntas o tal vez hasta tres. Y es que más allá del agotamiento disfruté del ascenso a los 4 mil 200 m.s.n.m. 

Arriba. Muy arriba, recibiendo las bofetadas de un viento congelado, viendo las cumbres de la cordillera del Urubamba y el trazo alucinado que, con sus subidas y bajadas, me permitirá cruzar el umbral del Inti Punku. Esa es la puerta de ingreso a la obra máxima de la arquitectura prehispánica. La alcanzaré al amanecer del cuarto día y, si los dioses andinos son benevolentes y quieren premiar mi esfuerzo, me dejarán apreciar el despunte luminoso del sol entre las montañas verdes que rodean o vigilan Machu Picchu, un lugar místico que siempre estará envuelto por el velo del misterio. Pero ese final aún está lejos. Sobre todo para mí que ando rezagado y con el orgullo por los suelos. La culpa es de esos extranjeros que avanzan a ritmo de chasqui, mientras uno va pasito a pasito, como si, en vez de estar en una senda incásica, anduviera en la procesión del Señor de los Milagros o en la del taytacha de los Temblores, el patrón de toditos los cusqueños. Y lo digo de nuevo: sí, está bien, lo entiendo, sé que no se trata de acelerar como loquito, sin fijarse mucho en el paisaje, queriendo pasar a todos los peregrinos y, en un exceso de audacia, haciéndole la lucha a los mismísimos porteadores. Ellos sí que van rápido, trotan, bajan corriendo y eso que cargan de todo un poco en sus espaldas de esforzados trajinantes. De eso no se trata, pues; pero tampoco tiene gracia ser el último en aparecer en los campamentos o en los sitios arqueológicos que se yerguen orgullosos de pasado en distintos recodos de la ruta. Siempre un hallazgo: los recintos de piedra de Patallaqta, al otro lado del Urubamba, el tambo o la posada de Runkurakay, o el centro ceremonial y administrativo de Sayaqmarka.

Más pasos, varios kilómetros, otros bastiones pétreos. Phuyupatamarka con su plataforma ovoide, sus fuentes de aguas, su laberinto de escalinatas, Intipata con sus terrazas de cultivo y sus paredes de piedra canteada; también Wiñay Wayna (siempre joven), en la antesala del final, donde hay andenes y un torreón y un recinto palaciego. A esos lugares debo llegar, perdón, voy a llegar tarde o temprano, hoy o mañana. ¿Seré el primero? No, jamás, el último siempre el último. Estoy resignado. Ya no me importa encabezar la fila. Solo quiero terminar y gritar sí pude, lo logré, vine a Machu Picchu caminando, como lo hacían los antiguos, como lo hizo hace un siglo el norteamericano Hiram Binghan. Ahora me siento un hijo del Sol y me creo el descubridor de una ciudad que estuvo perdida cientos de años, aunque, repito, no tengo ni la más mínima idea de cómo diablos se pudo perder siendo tan grande, tan bella, tan maravillosa.
