Macchu Picchu – especially if you take the Inca trail to get there. So much more remote and harder to get to. Outstanding views and fabulous people. Even if you take the train from Cusco its wonderful.

Although Maya ruins are very important vestiges of the past, i think you should visit MACHU PICCHU and CUSCO, remember that they are considered one of the 8 wonders of the world,.
MACHU PICCHU is on the top of a green mountain with a wonderful landscape of Urubamba river and the beginnings of the jungle…it was constructed in rocks by INKAS…It`s amazing how they could carry on all those stones! There you can see original Inka stairs made of stone, they`re part of the Inka trail.
CUSCO, “center of the world”, was the capital of the Inka`s Empire, so there you can see several constructions made by them. For example, THE TEMPLE OF SUN, THE TWELVE ANGLE ROCK, and so on.
