Machu Picchu is one of the most iconic symbols of the Inca civilization and a major archaeological site in the Americas. Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel located in the eastern andes of southern Peru on a mountain ridge at 2,430 meters above sea level. It is situated about 80 kilometers northwest of Cusco, above the Sacred Valley of the Incas and along the Urubamba River, which forms a deep canyon with a subtropical mountain climate.
