Machu Picchu (Inca)

Description Pictures
Machu Picchu (Quechua: Old Mountain; sometimes called the "Lost City of the Incas") is a well-preserved pre-Columbian Inca ruin located on a high mountain ridge, at an elevation of about 2,350 m. Machu Picchu is located above the Urubamba Valley in modern-day Peru, about 70 km northwest of Cuzco. The site is probably the most familiar symbol of the Inca Empire, due to its unique location, its geological features, and its late discovery in 1911. In recent times the site has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
