○ Machu Picchu, recognized as one of the New
Machu Picchu
Wonders of the World, is located on the
territory of modern Peru, on top of a mountain
range at an altitude of 2450 meters above sea
level. It is called the “city in the heavens” or
“the city among the clouds”, sometimes called
the “lost city of the Incas”. Some
archaeologists believe that this city was
created as a sacred mountain shelter by the
great Incan ruler Pachacutec around 1440, and
functioned until 1532, when the Spaniards
invaded the territory of the Inca Empire. In
1532, all its inhabitants mysteriously
disappeared.
