Machu Picchu – Day 2

The massive yet refined architecture of Machu Picchu blends exceptionally well with the stunning natural environment. With approximately 200 structures set on a steep ridge, crisscrossed by stone terraces.

Built in the fifteenth century Machu Picchu, our guide explained it was abandoned when the Inca Empire was conquered by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century. Later in the early 1900’s that the archaeological complex was made known to the outside world.
