Sun Gate
Hike to the Sun Gates of Machu Picchu to get a picture-perfect vantage point overlooking Peru’s most famous ruins. Also known as Intipunku, the Sun Gates consist of 2 stones perched at a narrow passage in the crevice of the mountain above the Lost City. The sun shines through this portal each day when it rises -- hence the name.
