Travel to Peru and explore the most spectacular archaeological monument in South America, the ancient Inca site of Machu Picchu.
Machu Picchu is the most historic site of the Inca Empire. It is sometimes called the "lost city" and was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
One of the most fascinating things about Machu Picchu is its location. It sits 8,000 feet above sea level and sits atop a mountain in the Andes Mountains range in Southern Peru. It is very difficult to get to because it is so high in the mountains. Three sides of the city are surrounded by cliffs that drop 1400 feet to the Urubamba River. The 4th side of the city is a high mountain.
Machu Picchu was built as the royal estate for the ninth Inca King, Pachacuti.
