Machu Picchu
•It is a 15th-century Inca citadel, located on a 2,430-metre (7,970 ft) mountain ridge , Peru.
•In the Quechua language the site name could possibly mean "old mountain".
•The Incas built the estate around 1450 but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish conquest.
•During its use as a royal estate, it is estimated that about 750 people lived there, with most serving as support staff who lived there permanently.
•Much of the farming done at Machu Picchu was done on its hundreds of man-made terraces.
•The site is roughly divided into an urban sector and an agricultural sector, and into an upper town and a lower town.
•The temples are in the upper town, the warehouses in the lower , with approximately 200 buildings.
•However, the site remained unknown to the outside world until American historian Hiram Bingham brought it to international attention in 1911.
•In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide Internet
