The ancient city of Machu Picchu is one of the most iconic and celebrated sites in South America. Nestled deep in the Andes Mountains of Peru, it was built by the Inca Empire around 1450, but was abandoned during the height of the Spanish invasion of the 1500s. Rediscovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911, Machu Picchu is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The site consists of architectural marvels, terraced hillsides, and a network of Inca trails. At an altitude of more than 7,000 feet, the citadel captures stunning views of snow-capped mountains and the Urubamba River gorge. Visitors to Machu Picchu should take the time to admire the perfect nature-sculpted stone masonry and explore the ancient city's many tranquil stone pathways. A journey to this awe-inspiring landmark is an unforgettable experience!
