Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, is Peru's top tourist destination. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This ancient Inca city, surrounded by stunning ladscapes, is located where the Peruvian Andes meet the Amazon Rainforest. Its architecture, art and land use are truly fascinating.

Visiting this historic sanctuary is like entering into another world. In fact, you can feel the spirit of the Andean culture and their way of life. Built in perfect harmony, this citadel stands on a hill, with beautiful views of the powerful Urubamba River. The citadel exudes a sense of nature. Nearby, Huayna Picchu shows the ruins of the Temple of the Moon.

With around 200 structures, this site serves as a religious, ceremonial and agricultural center. Nestled on a steep ridge with stone terraces, the city follows a detailed design. This, divided it into two sections: lower and upper, with a central square. Many mysteries remain, including its connection to the Inca astronomy and plant domestication.

Machu Picchu has two main areas. First, the agricultural zone, which include terraces and the farmers' houses. The second one is the urban zone, which features residential and religious areas.
