Machu Picchu is one of the world's great wonders. The vast ruins, rediscovered by Yale archeologist Hiram Bingham in 1911, attracts thousands every year. Most come via train from Cusco to a small village at the base of the Urubamba Gorge, the take a bus ride thousands of feet up a switchback road to the entrance. Others hike the Inca Trail and enter near dawn via the Sun Gate, which overlooks the ruins.
