FUN FACT

One of the country’s most popular attractions is Machu Picchu, an important archeological site that was once the heart of the Incan empire. Amazingly sprawled across a wild hilltop and spectacularly built by the Incas, who were known for their masonry, the so-called “lost city” is widely believed to have been some sort of royal estate and includes about 150 buildings, from baths and houses to temples and sanctuaries.
