25 Breathtaking Photos of Machu Picchu, Peru

Machu Picchu is an amazing place that I have always wanted to visit, the views are absolutely stunning, here is what the Wikipedia has to say about it :

Machu Picchu is a pre-Columbian 15th-century Inca site located 2,430 metres above sea level. Machu Picchu is located in the Cusco Region of Peru, South America. It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, which is 80 kilometres northwest of Cusco and through which the Urubamba River flows. Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). Often referred to as the “Lost City of the Incas”, it is perhaps the most familiar icon of the Inca World.

Today I present you 25 breathtaking photos of Machu Picchu …
