You cannot miss visiting the most representative archaeological site in South America, Machu Picchu. But in Machu Picchu you will not only find ruins, the Incas are a lively and vibrant culture that will surprise you with delicious cuisine, music and ancient traditions that are still alive in Cusco City. Our recommendation is to combine a visit to Machu Picchu with a visit to Lake Titicaca, the cradle of the Inca civilization. If you have more time, you can combine it with a visit to the city of La Paz and the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, since they are neighbouring countries.
