Experience Machu Picchu in stereoscopic 3D VR180, with time to notice the stonework, terraces, and scale of the Andes. This 10-minute immersive journey combines filmed views of the site with gentle narration, music, and location sound.
For the immersive 3D experience, open this video in a supported YouTube VR app and look around the forward 180-degree scene. Choose the highest playback quality available on your device and connection. Watching on a regular screen offers a preview of the place; a compatible headset provides the intended sense of depth.
The opening approach is an illustrative animation. The journey then continues with footage filmed at Machu Picchu.
