Historic Machu Picchu blends misty Andean ridgelines with Inca stonework and terraced agriculture. Prioritize the Classic View toward Huayna Picchu (iconic composition), the terraces, and the Intihuatana/temple area for texture and symmetry. Visit early for soft light and fewer crowds; expect cool, humid weather—bring a rain layer.
