Answer

Machu Picchu is probably the most famous. It is the site of Incan ruins (speculated to be the site of the ruling class and training or educational grounds). The ruins include the peak of Wayna Picchu overlooking the ruins that can be climbed in about 45 minutes between 7am and 1pm. A limited number of tourists per day are permitted to hike the Inca trail between Cusco and Machu Picchu.

Cusco, the heart of the Incan empire and hub of tourism activity in Peru, is at the heart of the Sacred Valley. Many stops can be reached via bus around the Sacred Valley including ruins and a market at Pisac, Ollantaytambo ruins (and train stop to Machu Picchu), Moray circular ruins, and the salt mines located just outside the town of Maras.

Lake Titicaca is shared by both Peru and Bolivia and can be reached from the Peruvian side via the town of Puno (accessible by bus, train and possibly plane). There are guided day tours and opportunities to stay overnight with a local family on the larger islands of Taquile and Amantani.

Choquequirao is a lesser known site of Incan ruins accessible only by foot/hike and less populated with tourists. Tours can be booked from Cusco.

The Colca Canyon near Arequipa is one of the largest canyons on earth and a prime place for sightings of condors in the wild.

Within Cusco, perched over the city, are the ruins of Sacsayhuaman (pronounced somewhat like "Sexy Woman").
