Mandor is considered the last place where Bingham stayed before his discovery of Machu Picchu. A fascinating area to visit with an incredible variety of flora and fauna, the 4km trail to the town is commonly known as “Machu Picchu’s Secret Garden”. Accompanied by one of our expert guides, you will be given a real history lesson of the area, including a stop at the Machu Picchu Museum where you can see many of the fascinating artefacts discovered at the site. Staying overnight in the cozy town of Aguas Calientes, we then spend our 2nd day with a full tour of Machu Picchu. This is a perfect itinerary for adventurers with a particular interest in history, and with perhaps a little less time available.
