The lost city of the Incas. Machu Picchu is located

on the top of a mountain in the Urubamba valley.
It is 120 kilometers away from the city of Cusco;
at 2,400 m.a.s.l. the American anthropologist
Hiram Bingham discovered it in 1911.
When you arrive in Machu Picchu you see two
mountains: Machu Picchu, which means the old
mountain, where the citadel is, and Huayna
Picchu, the young mountain. The city has the
agricultural area with a system of terraces, and
an urban area for military, religious and housing
purposes.
To go there you need to take a four – hour train
ride to get to village of aguas calientes. From
there you take a twenty minute bus ride up to the
top of the mountain. But, if you are adventurous,
take the Inca trail and go walking.
