Discover the Lost City of the Incas❗️Ancient and mysterious historical ruins I saw ancient stone buildings Inlaid between the verdant Andes peaks. Torrents eroded the castle that had been there for hundreds of years. 1-Pablo Neruda Machu Picchu is a famous relic of the Inca Empire in Peru during the pre-Columbian period. It means "ancient mountain top" in the Inca language and is also called the "lost city". Located 75 kilometers northwest of present-day Cusco Province, Peru, the ruins cover an area of ​​about 5 square kilometers. The entire site stands on a ridge at an altitude of 2,350-2,440 meters. It is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. 😲 Machu Picchu is famous for its unique terraced architecture, exquisite ashlar masonry technology and mysterious historical civilization. Buildings such as the Temple of the Sun and the House of Three Windows demonstrate the Incas' outstanding achievements in astronomy, architecture and art. 🤗 *Ancient city wall: Made of local stones, it demonstrates the superb architectural skills of the Inca civilization. 🍃 *Temple of the Sun: It is said to be the Inca's astronomical observatory, with unique stone carvings and exquisite reliefs. ⭐️ *Royal Quarters: A high-class residential area where rulers and nobles once lived. ❗️ *The Royal Tomb: Located directly below the Temple of the Sun, it is one of the most important tombs in Machu Picchu. ✨️
