Description

Let's celebrate my 100th picture at DeviantArt with Machu Picchu...

...is a pre-Columbian Inca site located at 2,430 meters above sea. Often referred to as "The Lost City of the Incas", Machu Picchu is probably the most familiar symbol of the Inca Empire.

It was built around the year 1450 and abandoned a hundred years later, at the time of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire.

Forgotten for centuries by all except for a few locals, the site was brought to worldwide attention in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, an American historian. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. It is also one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
