MADDEN’S ON GULL LAKE
July 15th, 2009MACHU PICCHU SANCTUARY LODGE
July 15th, 2009Located right within the boundaries of ancient Machu Picchu Ruins, with views to the unique Huayna Picchu Mountain and the Urubamba River, where you can experience peace in a natural ecological environment. You are just a few steps from Machu Picchu, a place chosen long ago for its remote and spectacular location. Here the Incas worshipped the mountain, the sky, and their sacred river far below. Here they worshipped nature. This city was built for a special few, and today you inherit their privilege, the chance to experience both the unique peace that descends on Machu Picchu at dusk, and the sense of hovering expectation that fills the air at dawn. These precious hours when most visitors have left are yours, and you have these mountains to yourself. Part of the fascination of Machu Picchu is due to the lack of precise information about its origin. Why the Incas built, occupied and then abandoned it. All we know for sure is that because of its majestic construction and location, this unique place played a very important part at some time during the Inca era. -Attention It is mandatory to secure train tickets to Machu Picchu when confirming room reservations. Train seating is limited and demand high and therefore last minute reservation requests can not be accommodated. Please email train reservation request to: hirambinghamreservations@perurail.com. Include number of passengers and dates of travel. Located in the boundaries of the ancient Inka Citadel. Walking distance from the entrance of the ruins.
