You have to go to
You must go to Machu Picchu, of course--it's one of the new Seven Wonders of the World and a really magnificent place. There are several options to get there: you can take the train or hike the Inca Trail.
Here's one fun activity you can do
Go whitewater rafting in the upper section of the Urubamba River. It's a great activity, and you'll love it!
Don't forget to check out one of my favorite places
One of my favorite places is located in the Sacred Valley: the famous Ollantaytambo. The massive stone blocks the Inca used in the construction of the buildings weigh between 80 and 100 tons. It's pretty impressive and, at the same time, a relaxing place to be, especially in the mornings.
Enjoy a meal at my favorite restaurant
Try alpaca steak or an alpaca hamburger. We say alpacas are cute and delicious at the same time.
Here's a doable bucket list for you to do in one day
1. Visit the San Pedro Market (local food and other unique things).
