Machu Picchu

The ruins of Machu Picchu, rediscovered in 1911 by Yale archaeologist Hiram Bingham, are one of the most beautiful and enigmatic ancient sites in South America.

.

The ancient Inca turned the site into a small but extraordinary city with width of 5 km2.

It locates at 2280m above the rumbling Urubamba river, the cloud shrouded ruins have palaces, baths, temples, storage rooms and some 150 houses, all in a remarkable state of preservation.

.

These structures, carved from the gray granite of the mountain top are wonders of both architectural and aesthetic genius.
