Machu Picchu is a city located high in the Andes Mountains in modern Peru.
Machu Picchu = "Old Peak".

Machu Picchu is a well preserved Pre-Columbian town located on a high mountain ridge above the Urubamba valley in modern-day Peru. It is thought the city was built by the Inca emperor Pachacuti starting in about 1440 and was inhabited until 1532. The city was re-discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham. This World Heritage Site is a popular tourist attraction. The city has an altitude of 8,000 feet, and is high above the Urubamba River canyon cloud forest. Machu Picchu is comprised of approximately 200 buildings, most being residences, although there are temples, storage structures and other public buildings. Now one of the 7 new wonders of the World.
