The tour begins on a path leading to the first terrace, where you can capture the iconic photo of Machu Picchu. It’s a breathtaking view, so enjoy!
Around 2:00 pm, the guided tour concludes, allowing time to explore areas where photos were missed. If desired, review the lunch options available for that day.
