Families and individuals pick the Machu Picchu tours as a way to escape the daily life chores and breakaway from the routine to travel and experience the best of holidays. The incredible urban construction of this place was done by the ancient Inca tribe and to this day preserves some of the original features. Machu Picchu tours are full of breathtaking views of mesmerizing architectural, archaeological and natural sights. Most people take a trekking route from the Inca Trail through the Andes Mountains to reach this spellbinding spot. History of Machu Picchu Before the year 1911 and the American historian Hiram Bingham stumbling upon the place, the existence of Machu Picchu was only known to a few native Quechuas. Bingham is also known for unearthing few of the ruins on the Inca Trail in the 1912 and 1915. Recent studies by archaeologists suggest that Machu Picchu was a royal site for the Inca emperors and was abandoned during the Spanish invasion. Machu Picchu tours attract thousands of visitors every year to its spellbinding beauty and sketchy history. Some of the theories that are popular include Machu Picchu being a royal retreat built in the 15th century for the Inca ruler. The flourishing and rich citadel was able to house up to a 1000 people. Its proximity to the mountains and various environmental features has led to the theory of the place being a religious site to the Incas. Going the distance For the Machu Picchu tours, a local guide is usually hired to travel through the Inca Trail. However, on an independent trip, there are options to hire buses from AguasCalientes which is the town closest to the place. A train ride is another option. It is feasible for tourists to get one of the packages tailored for one through a bunch of websites operating online. These packages make the Machu Picchu tours more fulfilling and hassle-free. Planning is the key to successful execution and what would be more rewarding than to have the intricacies of the trip figured out and enjoy with a carefree and relaxed mind and let it wander in the magnificence of Machu Picchu. The packages are available with a plethora of options for families or individuals: a trip for a shorter period or an extended one, budget friendly or exclusive luxury trips, trekking or taking a bus or a train. All these choices make Machu Picchu tours exclusive and custom made. For more info regarding machu picchu vacations and machu picchu hiking tours visit website sungatetours.com
