Lama enjoying sunset in Machu Picchu inca ruins

Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel situated on a mountain ridge 2, 430 metres (7, 970 ft) above sea level. It is located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Machupicchu District in Peru, above the Sacred Valley, which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cuzco and through which the Urubamba River flows.
Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438a'1472). Often mistakenly referred to as the Lost City of the Incas (a title more accurately applied to Vilcabamba), it is the most familiar icon of Inca civilization. The Incas built the estate around 1450 but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was not known to the Spanish during the colonial period and remained unknown to the outside world until American historian Hiram Bingham brought it to international attention in 1911.
Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Its three primary structures are the Inti Watana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of how they originally appeared.[4] By 1976, thirty percent of Machu Picchu had been restored and restoration continues.
Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide Internet poll

EDITORS COMMENTS
Captivating and serene, this stunning print captures the essence of tranquility as a majestic lama basks in the golden hues of a breathtaking sunset at Machu Picchu. Perched on a mountain ridge 2,430 meters above sea level, this 15th-century Inca citadel is an architectural marvel nestled in the heart of Peru's Cusco Region. Believed to have been built as an estate for Inca emperor Pachacuti, Machu Picchu stands as an iconic symbol of Inca civilization. Its polished dry-stone walls showcase the classical Inca style, while its primary structures like the Inti Watana and Temple of the Sun exude ancient grandeur. Though abandoned during the Spanish Conquest and hidden from outside world until historian Hiram Bingham's discovery in 1911, today Machu Picchu remains a testament to human ingenuity and cultural heritage. The ongoing restoration efforts have allowed visitors to witness its former glory firsthand. Declared a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary in 1981 and designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983, Machu Picchu continues to captivate travelers from around the globe. It was even recognized as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World through an international poll. Renzi Tommaso's masterful photography skillfully immortalizes this moment when nature meets history at Machu Picchu. With every detail meticulously captured, this print invites you to experience serenity amidst ancient ruins.
