A HIDDEN TUNNEL BETWEEN PERU & BRAZIL?

The Legendary Tunnel Linking Machu Picchu & São Tomé das Letras 

When people think of Machu Picchu, they picture the inspiring stone citadel of the Incas, perched high in the Andes Mountains. It’s a bucket-list destination for millions of travelers, famous for its breathtaking landscapes, intricate architecture, and the mystery that still surrounds its purpose. But what if one of the greatest secrets of Machu Picchu isn’t on the mountaintop at all - what if it lies beneath it?

For centuries, whispers and legends have spoken of an underground tunnel, a hidden passageway said to stretch across South America, linking Machu Picchu in Peru to São Tomé das Letras in Brazil. While Machu Picchu is known worldwide as an archaeological wonder, São Tomé das Letras carries its own mystical reputation: a town wrapped in folklore, sacred caves, crystal energy, and stories of portals to other dimensions.


Imagine this for a moment:

A tunnel carved by ancient hands, connecting two places that are both shrouded in mystery.

A hidden network that might have once allowed cultures, goods, and sacred knowledge to flow across vast distances.

A legend that brings together the Incan Empire and the mystical traditions of Brazil, leaving behind questions that historians, archaeologists, and dreamers alike are still trying to answer.

Is there truth behind the myth, or is this one of South America’s greatest unsolved mysteries? Some say the caves of São Tomé hold entrances that align with the legends, while others believe the Incas safeguarded their most sacred knowledge in secret underground routes. Whether you lean toward history, folklore, or pure adventure, this story is one that stirs the imagination.

Uncover the full mystery and decide for yourself.

MACHU PICCHU, CHOOSING THE RIGHT CIRCUIT  How to Choose the Right Circuit In June 2024, Machu Picchu introduced a new ticketing and routing system with three main circuits, divided into ten possible routes. The goal? To better control visitor flow, protect fragile areas of the citadel, and make the overall experience smoother and safer. This system limits daily capacity to around 5,600 visitors in high season and 4,500 the rest of the year. Every circuit has a fixed entry time and a one-way path, meaning you can’t backtrack to re-visit certain areas once you pass them. This makes choosing the right circuit even more important, because it defines exactly what you will and won’t see.

It’s perfect for photography lovers or visitors with limited time. Within this circuit, the most popular opti...
