Machu Pichu is debatably the most impressive and spectacular accomplishment of the Inca Empire. The Inca ruins (15th century) of Machu Picchu are 120km from Cuzco, Peru.
Machu Picchu is nearly invisible from below, tucked away on a small hilltop between two Andean peaks, at 7,000 feet above sea level.
The first sight of Machu Picchu is almost magical. The temples, fields, terraces, and baths appear to be part of the hillside itself.
Its natural beauty, varied environment, ancient history and mysterious beginnings make it a popular choice. The lush cloud forest, rich tropical jungles and mountain scenery gives an awesome feeling.
