DISCRIPTION:

Machu Picchu is considered both an architectural and engineering masterpiece. Its peculiar architectural and landscape features, and the veil of mystery that has been woven around it in much of the literature published about the site, have made it one of the most famous tourist destinations on the planet, as well as one of the seven wonders of the modern world.

Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry stone walls. Its three main structures are the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Three Windows. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed to give visitors a better idea of what the original was like.
