Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca village in the Cusco region. The ruins entrusted the rediscovery in 1911 by archaeologist Hiram Bingham, being among the most beautiful parts and ancient jobs in the world. While entrusted with safe use at the top of the mountain 2761.50 m high, erecting hundreds of stone structures still dating back to the 1400s, legend and myths indicate that Machu Picchu meaning `old peak` in the language Quechua was worshiped as a sacred place in ancient times.
