Machu Picchu is an ancient Incan city located in the Andes mountains of Peru. Built around 1450, it was abandoned by the time Spanish conquistadors arrived in 1532 and remained largely unknown until 1911 when American historian Hiram Bingham rediscovered it. The site consists of a number of structures built on narrow terraces cut into the mountain overlooking two deep river gorges, surrounded by lush vegetation and stunning views.

The ruins are made up of three main areas: agricultural terraces, temples, and residences. There are also numerous other structures such as walls, ceremonial fountains and stairways that help make Machu Picchu a unique archaeological wonder.
