The
legendary 'Lost City of Machu Picchu' is without a doubt the most
important tourist attraction in Peru and one of the world's most
impressive archaeological sites.
Built by the
Incas on the summit of "Machu Picchu" (Old Peak), overlooking the
deep canyon of the Urubamba river in a semi-tropical area 120 Km.
(75 miles) from the city of Cusco at 7,000 feet above sea level.
