Machu Picchu, an ancient Incan city perched in the mountains above Peru’s Urubamba Valley, has become one of the most recognizable locations in the world due to its mysterious nature and its dramatic beauty. The Incans began building Machu Picchu in 1430 AD but decided to stop construction 100 years later due to the Spanish conquest of the area. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983 and continues to hold immense cultural signifiance for Peru.
