Traveling In Peru And Bolivia
Different views of Machu Picchu, Peru's most important tourist destination and one of the 7 Wonders. Built most probably by Inca Chapacutec in the 15th century, The Llaqta (quechua for village) named after the Machu Picchu mountain is a marvel of the incas engineer. Stabilished 400m above the Urubamba river's canyon, the citadel had political, religious and militar facilities. The built area is 530 meters long and 200 wide and includes at least 172 enclosures. The complex is clearly divided into two large areas: the agricultural and the urban area, separated by a wall, a moat and a staircase, all between the high peaks of Machu Picchu (old mountain) and Huayna Picchu (new mountain) (Photo by Gustavo Basso/NurPhoto)
