Machu Picchu was built as a royal estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti, generally dated to around 1450, on a ridge high above the Urubamba River between two mountains. It's one of the best-preserved sites from an empire that, at its height, stretched across much of western South America — and this 2-day tour is built around giving that empire's engineering and daily life more room to breathe than a single rushed day allows.
A popular version of the story holds that Machu Picchu was a 'lost city,' completely unknown until American historian Hiram Bingham stumbled onto it in 1911. That's an overstatement worth correcting: local farming families were already living on and working the site's terraces when Bingham arrived, and it was a local landowner, with the help of a farmer named Melchor Arteaga, who actually led him up to the ruins. What Bingham did was bring international attention to a site the wider world hadn't yet heard of, not discover something nobody knew existed.
Day 1 turns toward the Sacred Valley itself before Machu Picchu comes into view at all. At Maras, salt has been harvested since pre-Inca times from a mineral-rich spring that feeds hundreds of small, terraced evaporation pools, worked today under an informal cooperative system with roots reaching back centuries. Nearby Chinchero, an Andean town known for its archaeological remains, its Sunday market, and its traditional weaving demonstrations, rounds out the day before you continue to Aguas Calientes for the night.
Day 2 begins early, timed for a sunrise visit to Machu Picchu before the bulk of the day's visitors arrive — one real advantage of overnighting at the base rather than making the full round trip from Cusco in a single day — with time afterward to explore the citadel at your own pace before heading back.
