View Of The Residential Section Of Machu Picchu, Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Peru
Machu Picchu or Machu Pikchu is a 15th-century Inca site located 2, 430 metres (7, 970 ft) above sea level. It is located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Machupicchu District in Peru. It is situated on a mountain ridge 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 (1438 u20131472). It is the most familiar icon of Inca civilization. nThe Incas built the estate around 1450, but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view of the residential section of Machu Picchu, a magnificent 15th-century Inca site nestled in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Peru. Standing at an impressive altitude of 2,430 meters (7,970 ft) above sea level on a mountain ridge above the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu is a testament to ancient engineering and architectural marvels. Believed to have been built as an estate for Inca emperor Pachacuti around 1450 AD, this lost city was abandoned just a century later during the Spanish Conquest. Today, it stands as one of the most iconic symbols of Inca civilization and has rightfully earned its place among UNESCO World Heritage Sites and New Seven Wonders of the World. The photo showcases the remnants of stone walls that once housed residents within this remarkable structure. The rugged rock formations blend seamlessly with nature's beauty as they overlook the picturesque Urubamba Valley. A footpath winds through this ancient civilization's ruins while offering visitors glimpses into history and stunning panoramic views. Artie Photography skillfully captures every detail in this horizontal color image that transports viewers to another time and place. This photograph serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to explore not only Machu Picchu but also South America's awe-inspiring landscapes steeped in history.
