1 - Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is a pre-Columbian 15th-century
Inca site located 2,430 metres above sea level.
Machu Picchu is located in the Cusco Region of
Peru, South America. It is situated on a mountain
ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, which is
80 kilometres northwest of Cusco. Most
archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built
as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–
1472). Often referred to as the "City of the Incas", it
is perhaps the most familiar icon of Inca
civilization.
4. The Incas built the estate around 1450, but
abandoned it as an official site for the Inca rulers a
century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest.
Although known locally, it was unknown to the
outside world before being brought to
international attention in 1911 by the American
historian Hiram Bingham. Since then, Machu
Picchu has become an important tourist
attraction.
