This amazing place can not be seen from anywhere on the ground, it is a city within the clouds, really magical and mysterious. There is really no describing the feeling of visiting this wondrous place. If you don't mind a trek i highly recommend hiking up Huayna Picchu to get a view from above. Just make sure you buy your tickets a couple days in advanced as they are limited and sell out. #History
So this is not really a tip as I'm sure everyone knows this location. Think of it more as me trying to encourage all of you who haven't been there already to go and see this magnificent place with your own eyes. It truly is a wonder of the world! A few things to keep in mind though. First of all, there are a limited number of entry tickets per day so it's essential to book ahead. Also, to maximize your chances of getting some nice weather on your visit you should come during winter (summer in the northern hemisphere) but be prepared for some cold nights. #goldenhour
