Santuario Historico de Machu Picchu - At the mountain’s peak, large stone blocks fit together without mortar to form one of the Inca empire’s most important religious, political, and cultural centers: Machu Picchu. Discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, the site is divided into agricultural and urban sectors, featuring structures like the Temple of the Sun. Machu Picchu is a World Heritage Site and a source of pride for Peru. Built around 1450 and discovered in 1911, its strategic mountain-top location has led to various theories about its purpose, ranging from a mausoleum for Inca Pachacútec to an important administrative and agricultural center.
