Butterfly Garden + Manuel Chavez Ballon Site Museum

We will begin the tour at the main plaza of Aguas Calientes. After taking pictures we will start our walk towards the Machu Picchu Butterfly Garden, located about 1.5 km from the plaza (approx 30 minutes). In this place you will learn about the evolutionary processes of the butterflies that inhabit the area. Then we will walk for another 20 minutes until we reach the Manuel Chávez Ballón Site Museum. This museum is the result of archaeological research carried out in the Inca City of Machu Picchu and it exhibits more than 200 original artifacts (from ceramics, to metals, stones, bones, and many others) used by the Incas.After this enriching experience we will start the walk back to town
