It was built in the most difficult location, rugged and inaccessible, known for its impressive and unique buildings. Its unique mountaintop location and near an abyss whose bottom flows to the shores of the Urubamba River.
Machu Picchu, located at 2400 m.a.s.l., appears to be a construction designed to be incorporated naturally to the landscape. It is the result of a set of unique experiences, where the work of man and nature merge successfully. The irregular topography transformed into terraces for agriculture and urban blends within the construction. Surrounded by majestic snow-capped mountains, abundant flora and fauna that are attractive to locals and foreigners, the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu is the most important symbol of Andean culture and one of the most important monuments of the world, declared by UNESCO as Cultural Heritage of humanity.
It is the most reliable sign of spirituality and religious worldview expressed in the architecture printed in colossal rocks, is known also as the citadel of the platforms, stairways and water fountains. From where one seems to touch the sky with their hands and gets transported in time to the ancient Inca civilization.
Visiting Machu Picchu is a unique experience. The mystic solemnity that emerges from its stone walls and the mysteries that these rocks contain, inspire a deep respect for the builders of this monumental work, who knew how to combine the art of its creation with the wildness of nature.
