Machu Picchu The Lost City of the Incas

The Lost City of the Incas – Think the unimaginable: discover Machu Picchu! Standing at 2,430 meters (7,972 feet), Machu Picchu (in Quechua, Machu Picchu, meaning “Old Peak”) is one of the most important cultural sites in Latin America. In 2007, in recognition of its origins, Machu Picchu was voted one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. The stonework of the site is one of the world’s great examples of the use of natural raw material in creating outstanding architecture. Its giant walls, terraces, and ramps seem naturally cut in the continuous rock escarpments.
