Finding a perfect vacation is not an easy thing for me to do. I do not enjoy the traditional vacation to a big city area. I want to go somewhere far away that I will only have a chance to visit once. A place with great scenery and breathtaking views works best for me. Machu Picchu, Peru is a destination that meets all my requirements in a perfect vacation spot. It is very hard to travel there because of restrictions the Peruvian government have levied against tourism. To make best of your time here are a few tips that anyone considering traveling to Machu Picchu should know:
1.) Make sure to have plenty of reading material handy. Buy pamphlets, guidebooks, and magazines having to do with where the best places in Machu Picchu are located. Remember also to buy the most recent material because they are updated frequently.
2.) The only way to purchase tickets to visit Machu Picchu is at the IPERU Booths in Peru's airports. They can be purchased online but it is a very unreliable way. Having a back up plan is a must, plan out other places to visit if you are unable to get ahold of tickets.
Traveling to Peru can be very expensive and only those who truly want to visit should consider going. Tickets getting into Machu Picchu itself usually sell for $80.00 while an airline ticket getting to Peru will run you about $1000. If you are interested in purchasing a package deal for airline tickets and a stay at a hotel you can expect to spend around $1400. For anyone who wants to visit Peru but is not interested in seeing Machu Picchu here are some other tourist attractions:
- Arequipa City
- Chiclayo
- Iquitos
- Lake Titicaca
- Lima
- Nazca
- Paracas
- Tambopata
- Trujillo
Machu Picchu is a breathtaking place that any adventurous person should put on their bucket list. It is an almost magical place located against one of the beautiful backdrops in the world. There are many wonderful vacation spots but none can give you the same experience that Machu Picchu can. Take a chance and see something amazing by taking a trip to Peru.
