The Intipunku, meaning ‘Gateway of the Sun’, is the entrance to Machu Picchu along the Inca Trail and offers an outstanding view of Machu Picchu and the sacred mountain of Huayna Picchu. The site, featuring stone buildings and steep stone stairways, would have been the official gateway or checkpoint for people arriving and departing the citadel.

Arriving here at any time is magical, but to reach this point before the crowds, or before sunrise to watch the Inca city reveal itself from beneath the shroud of mist is a simply sublime experience.
