Machu Picchu is one of the 7 wonders of the world most visited by tourists, has beautiful stone constructions, which were carved with great precision and detail, is the most important work for the Incas for having been built on a rugged and inaccessible mountain, divided into two large sectors, urban and agricultural separated by a great wall that descends the hillside until it reaches the banks of the Vilcanota River.
No wonder Machu Picchu is the most visited place in Peru. This mortarless limestone architectural marvel, dating from the mid-15th century, is situated on a high plateau deep in the Amazon jungle. It can be reached by train from Cuzco or, if you’re up for it, make the journey by following a multi-day walking trail; you’ll travel deep into the Andean ravines and enjoy breathtaking views.
