Inca City of Machu Picchu

It was built in the highlands of the central Andes Mountains in the 14th century. Located at 2.430 m above sea level, in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, the Inca city of Machu Picchu was probably the most amazing urban creation of the Inca Empire at its height; its giant walls, terraces and ramps seem as if they have been cut naturally in the continuous rock escarpments.

The archaeological area of the Inca is the most complete city that survived the Spanish invasion. The Inca city of Machu Picchu was discovered by Hiram Bingham on the July 24th, 1911 and it is in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1983. Currently, the archaeological area is considered in danger due to landslides and the high number of tourists that everyday visit this place. Moreover, I consider The Inca city of Machu Picchu as one of the most beautiful and historical places to visit.
