Why Choose a Sunrise Tour: Unveiling the Mystique of Machu Picchu at Dawn
As the first light of day touches Machu Picchu, it reveals the intricate details of this UNESCO World Heritage site in an entirely new light. The misty mornings add an ethereal charm to the ruins that is simply missing later in the day.
