Machu Picchu
Peru's archaeological rock star
The world-famous ruins that have come to define Peru's tourism industry. Despite now drawing millions of visitors a year, the crowds can't dent the ruins' sheer scale and undeniable magnificence. You'll almost certainly pay a visit to Machu Picchu while in Peru, but don't let its rock star status overshadow the country's countless lesser-visited ruins and archaeological sites.
