One of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important archaeological sites in Peru, if not the Americas.
The Lost Incan City is situated on a mountain ridge north west of Cusco, 2,400 metres above sea level. It is a marvel of human engineering and a testament to the advanced level of Incan science and culture.
There’s something so special about this place and it really has to be seen and experienced to be believed.
