Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983, Machu Picchu is the most visited tourist attraction in Peru and was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. When visiting, note that there are four different circuits that take you to four different levels of the site. Once you begin your journey, you must follow the instructions and move forward; you can't go backward just because you missed a spot. Circuit 1 is the highest level of the site, and the latitude decreases as the circuit number goes up.
On the day we visited, it rained in the morning. After arriving at the site, the rain stopped, but it took a while for the clouds to clear up. Everyone patiently waited, and at last, we were finally able to see the clear face of Machu Picchu!
