Machu Picchu - Peru

Everyone sees pictures of Machu Picchu and thinks to themselves: wow, that place looks incredible. Wouldn't it be amazing to go there? But then I'm sure they are assailed by doubts related to the logistical difficulty of getting there, safety, language, etc. So I intend to answer these commonly asked questions. But I also intend for this guide to be for those who have already done some homework and want some tips and more in-depth advice.

This guide is obviously for those who wish to see Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley in an independent fashion. That being said there's a lot of information here even for those who'd rather go with a tour, and I think this write-up will help you choose which tour is right for you. Should you go the private tour way the information here may help you coordinate your trip with your guide. As far as my thoughts on "should I take a tour?" I will predictably side with the do-it-yourself camp. With all the information available, both here and in guidebooks and other websites, seeing Machu Picchu yourself is a piece of cake.
