Location: Cusco Region of Peru, South America.
Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas” is the best-known
and most spectacular site in South America. Machu Picchu are quechua words that
mean “old” and “mountain”. The well preserved ruins of Machu Picchu seem to
almost cling to the steep hillside, surrounded by towering green mountains
overlooking the Vilcanota River Valley. Even after having seen the classic
photo of Machu Picchu in guide books, web sites and postcards you still cannot
fail but to be impressed by the awe-inspiring location of the ruins.

Tourism activity in Machu Picchu has become more and more
developed over the last several years as the tourism infrastructure keeps pace
with the worldwide attention this remarkable site has received. Built almost
600 years ago by the powerful Inca civilization, Machu Picchu offers tourists
an incredible insight into the lives of Inca people.
