The former frontman of The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, arrived Thursday in the district of Machu Picchu (best known as Aguas Calientes) to visit on Friday the Incan citadel located in the South Andean department of Cusco.
The performer of Satisfaction arrived at 13:05 hours (18:05 GMT). About 50 meters before Machu Picchu’s train station he went down with his family to enter the Inkaterra hotel.
Jagger is also expected to visit Huayna Picchu ("Young Peak"), a mountain around which the Urubamba River bends. It rises over Machu Picchu, the so-called "lost city of the Incas" and divides it into sections.
The 68-year old musician arrived in Lima on Friday, October 7, and was greeted by a group of surprised fans who recognized him at the Jorge Chavez airport in Lima. He was accompanied by a child and his security personnel.
On Saturday he met with Peruvian President Ollanta Humala and his wife Nadine Heredia at the Government Palace.
In recognition of his work as a philanthropist and environmentalist, visiting rock legend Mick Jagger was declared distinguished guest and ambassador of Madre de Dios by Peruvian authorities in this southeastern region.
As the lead singer for the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger is one of the most popular and influential frontmen in the history of rock & roll.
Jagger fronted the Rolling Stones for over 20 years before he began a solo career in 1985.
