Machu Picchu is an ancient Incan city located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru. Built in the 15th century at the height of the Inca Empire, this archaeological site sits on a mountain ridge 2,430 meters above sea level. The city is renowned for its sophisticated dry-stone walls that fuse huge blocks without the use of mortar, intriguing buildings that play on astronomical alignments, and its panoramic views of the surrounding mountain landscape.
The site features distinct areas including urban, agricultural, and sacred zones. Machu Picchu represents the engineering prowess and architectural skill of the Inca civilization, demonstrating their understanding of architecture, agriculture, and astronomy.
The site was largely unknown to the outside world until American historian Hiram Bingham brought it to international attention in 1911. Today, it serves as one of the most significant cultural landmarks in Peru, offering visitors insight into Incan history, architecture, and cultural practices.
