Why now:
Machu Picchu's 'sister city' and its near equal when it comes to perfectly preserved royal Incan archeological sites only receives about five visitors a day (as opposed to the government capped 2,500 daily visitors to Machu Picchu).
But that's all about to change with the construction of a tram that will make the 12–16 hour hike a one-hour jaunt a half mile above the Apurimac River. With the tram set to open in 2016, now is the time to visit these majestic ruins in near-solitude with nothing to spoil the vast panorama but the occasional condor soaring over head.
