Though Machu Picchu is amazing, it’s not for everybody: If crowds of over a hundred people will likely spoil your trip, pick one of these three alternatives. All are fascinating Inca ruins that rival Machu Picchu for architecture, history and beauty.

In order of the shortest walk to the longest trek, my three favorite alternatives are Pisac, Waqra Pukará and Choquequirao.

Choquequirao and Waqra Pukará get 10-100 visitors each per day. Pisac gets a few hundred, but if you go during lunch time or later in the afternoon you’ll likely have the place to yourself.

Pisac

The Pisac Inca ruins can be done as a day trip from Cusco and part of the archeological site is wheelchair accessible on dirt trails. If you are up for a bit of a hike, plan about an hour to walk from the main section of the ruins down the ridge to the Intihuatana.
