What to do and see in Machu Picchu, Cusco Region: The Best Things to do Good for Kids

July 24, 2021 Marissa Gamble

It's no wonder Machu Picchu is Peru's most-visited site. Dating to the mid-1400s, it's a marvel of mortar-free limestone architecture perched on a high plateau deep in the Amazonian jungle. Get there via train from Cusco or, if you're not faint-hearted, make the trip on foot via a multi-day hiking trail—you'll travel through deep Andean gullies and enjoy stunning views.

Mandor

Mandor is a family initiative for enviromental protection located 4Km from Machu Picchu village (Aguas Calientes). This property offer well maintained trails where you can walk into biodiverse gardens enjoying, learning and at the same time contributing to the restoration and preservation of the habitat of hundreds of species of flora and fauna. The waterfall at the end of the trail is really powerful and refreshing. Mandor Valley is the best place for outdoor activities and the birdwatching hotspot near Machu Picchu. The property also offers cabins and campsite where you can stay and enjoy the most of this quiet location.

This is an interesting walk to get to from town, following the train line. The actual site is beautiful with a wide range of plants and birds/butterflies all around. The waterfalls are well worth the hike to see.

Highly recommend this conservatory. This donation only facility is trying to reintroduce butterflies that have been depleted mostly due to pollution and is in beautiful setting along the serene river. The amenities include interpretation, a small snack and gift shop and bathrooms. You can grab a snack among the birds, butterflies, mountains and river.

There are practically no directions to the waterfall. You need to find it by map. Some guy in the jungle asked 10 soles. I didn't really understand why it could be for entrance I assume. A step through the jungle on a hot day is daunting, but worth it. Waterfalls waters is crystal clear and clean. Probably the cleanest water I've ever seen in my life. Definitely worth a visit. Besides, I was the only tourist and did not meet anyone during the climb.
