Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, Peru: Machu Picchu is an Incan citadel set high in the Andes Mountains in Peru, above the Urubamba River valley. Built in the 15th century and later abandoned, it’s renowned for its sophisticated dry-stone walls that fuse huge blocks without the use of mortar, intriguing buildings that play on astronomical alignments and panoramic views. Its exact former use remains a mystery. Wikipedia

Machu Picchu , Peru
Tumblr media
Machu Picchu (pronounced:
Machu Picchu or Machu Picchu, Quechua language:
Machu Pikchu) is an Inca ancient city that has been very well preserved to this day.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was chosen as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World on July 7, 2007.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It is located on the top of a mountain in the Andes, at an altitude of 2,430 m, on the Urubamba Valley, and is 88 km from Cusco, Peru.
The city was built around 1450 by Pachacutec Yupanqui, an Incan ruler.
When the Spanish invaders occupied these places in 1532, this city, which was located among dense mountains, was not noticed by the invaders and thus was not damaged.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The city had to be abandoned due to the smallpox epidemic that spread shortly after the construction of the city was completed.
Tumblr media
Machu Picchu consists of stone structures connected to each other by a system of more than 200 stairs.
The city's 3000 steps are still in good condition today.
