Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu, is an Inca citadel high in the Andes Mountains of Peru, and one of the world's most stunning archaeological sites.

Often referred to as the Lost City of the Incas, it is one of the most iconic symbols of the Inca civilization.

Built around 1450, what is now known as Machu Picchu is believed to have served as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti, but was abandoned roughly a century later.

This was probably due to the Spanish conquest and disease following European contact.

Over the centuries, the site was claimed back by the surrounding jungle, and few outside the immediate area knew of its existence.

Until 1902 when Peruvian explorer Agustín Lizárraga led an expedition to the area now known as Machu Picchu and discovered the 'lost city'.

He was followed a decade later by American historian and explorer Hiram Bingham, who was instrumental in alerting the world to the 'lost city'.

It is an indication of its importance that Machu Picchu is a cultural and a natural UNESCO World Heritage Site
