1. Machu Picchu

1.Machu Picchu

I have always been a Lama lover! Yup, you heard that. If you are like me, then this is where you should be. Welcome to Machu Picchu, an Incan citadel set high in the Andes Mountains in Peru. There was not much information about Machu Picchu in 1911, but that was about to change when Hiram Bingham, an American archaeologist and known politician of his time, decided to do a scientific study of Machu Picchu, trying to connect it with Vilcabamba.

Machu Picchu has many hidden gems, one of them being the Museo de Sitio Manuel Chávez Ballón Museum: It’s an amazing museum that describes and tells how Machu Picchu was built. Located about thirty minutes away from the town of Aguas Calientes. It has many Incan architectural buildings—the reason Machu Picchu was built was considered a royal retreat, a religious sanctuary, and a sacred place for the emperor Pachacuti and his royal court.

Now, if you are looking to lose a lot of weight then you are in great luck. So, be prepared for a lot of hiking and walking to get to most of these destinations. For example, Huayna Picchu, the mountain top located 1,640 feet up high. You also have the Temple of the Moon, located on the far side of Huayna Picchu, known to be an Incan ceremonial temple. If you ever think of visiting, the best time to visit is between April and May, where the rainy season is gone.
