Peru: Machu Picchu — Hiking the Mountain & Hot Springs

Listen Later

3. Join Jill and her friend (and travel instigator!) Kelly as they journey to one of the world’s most awe-inspiring destinations: Machu Picchu. From the bustling town of Aguas Calientes to the breathtaking hike up Machu Picchu Mountain, this episode captures the wonder, exhaustion, and pure joy of exploring the Lost City of the Incas.

Highlights:

  • Stay at Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel, nestled in lush tropical gardens filled with hummingbirds and orchids.
  • Enjoy cocktails with a view at Belmond Sanctuary Lodge, the only hotel at the entrance to the ruins.
  • Savor a well-earned lunch at Qunuq Restaurant, Sumaq Hotel.
  • Follow Jill and Kelly on their unforgettable climb up Machu Picchu Mountain—1,600 stone steps, sweeping views, and plenty of laughter (and a few curse words). Cool off in the local hot springs and reflect on the magic of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
