Amazing Machupicchu!!
Machu Picchu is an old Inca site located in the mountains of Peru, about 80 kilometers northwest of Cusco. Archaeologists think that Machu Picchu was built as a home for the emperor of the Incas, a civilization that lived there before Columbus discovered America. The site is often called the Lost City of the Incas. The Spanish conquistadors started conquering the Inca in the 16 th century . But history tells us that they did not know anything about the historic site of Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu was not known to the outside world until the American archaeologist Hiram Bingham discovered the site in 1911. Since then a large part of the settlement has been restored and today, Machu Picchu attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists from around the world...
