About Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is the most iconic archaeological site in Peru and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Built during the 15th century under the rule of the Inca emperor Pachacutec, this ancient citadel rises high in the Andes Mountains above the Sacred Valley near Cusco, surrounded by cloud forests and dramatic green peaks. Hidden from the outside world for centuries until its international rediscovery in 1911 by explorer Hiram Bingham, Machu Picchu today stands as a symbol of the incredible engineering, astronomical knowledge, and spiritual connection the Inca civilization had with nature. Its remarkable stone constructions, agricultural terraces, ceremonial temples, and sacred spaces such as the Temple of the Sun, the Intihuatana stone, and the Sacred Plaza continue to amaze travelers from around the world. Whether arriving by train or hiking the famous Inca Trail, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of Huayna Picchu Mountain while experiencing an unforgettable combination of history, culture, mystery, and natural beauty in the heart of the Peruvian Andes.
