Sun Gate

The sun gate is another archaeological great find! Basically it'll last stop before you get to Machu Picchu! The views of there are the most beautiful that you will see! It took a lot of hiking to get there but it is well worth it!

If you've made it this far, you've had an amazing hike along the trail! Enjoy the views! Remember to be patient as cloud cover can hover, but when they clear, you have a beautiful view of the sanctuary. There are no bathrooms, please be mindful of your littering and watch your step. There will be both groups of hikers from the inka trail and those who are hiking up from mp so take a seat and be prepared for the crowds, the view is worth the wait! Happy trekking!

The best way to see Machu Picchu. Whether you do the one day or the four day Inca Trail hike, seeing the world wonder the first time should be earned if at all possible

Of course, we wanted to hike Huayna Picchu – but since there were no tickets for the date we went there, we went to Inti Punku. To be honest, I don’t regret it – there were not many people and the view of Machu Picchu and Huyana Picchu was breathtaking.

A beautiful way to end a long 4 day hike - to behold your eyes on Machu Piccu

What a great place to visit. My brother has dreamt of coming here since he was a small skinny child. Sadly when we got here there was a strange whiff of what smelt of human plop. Luckily it didn't ruin the experience and we has a spiffing time. Hopefully on my next visit to a wonder there isn't a rough smell to deal with.

About an hour's hike from Machu Picchu - well worth it if you have the time! Fantastic views of the citadel, especially around sunrise or sunset. Be aware that it closes around 4pm though, so if you cannot start hiking by 230-3, it may not be worthwhile.

My husband and I eloped here, and Intipunku is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to! Truly a magical place that overlooks gorgeous views including the Apú Veronica, and several small ciudads. I would go a million times over.
