View Of The Residential Section Of Machu Picchu, Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Peru
Machu Picchu or Machu Pikchu is a 15th-century Inca site located 2, 430 metres (7, 970 ft) above sea level. It is located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Machupicchu District in Peru. It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Sacred Valley which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cuzco and through which the Urubamba River flows. Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438 u20131472). It is the most familiar icon of Inca civilization. nThe Incas built the estate around 1450, but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view of the residential section of Machu Picchu, a remarkable Inca site nestled in the Cusco Region of Peru. Perched 2,430 meters above sea level on a mountain ridge overlooking the Sacred Valley, this ancient city is an enduring symbol of Inca civilization and a testament to their architectural prowess. Believed to have been constructed as an estate for Inca emperor Pachacuti in the 15th century, Machu Picchu was abandoned just a century later during the Spanish Conquest. Today, it stands as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The photo showcases the remnants of stone walls that once formed residential housing structures within this lost city. The engineering marvels are evident in every detail, with intricate rock formations seamlessly integrated into cliffs and crags. The landscape surrounding Machu Picchu is nothing short of awe-inspiring; hills and mountains stretch as far as the eye can see. Artie Photography has masterfully captured this historic site from a horizontal perspective, highlighting its grandeur against South America's vibrant colors. This print serves not only as a stunning piece of art but also as a reminder of our rich history and cultural heritage. It invites us to explore ancient civilizations while appreciating nature's majestic beauty all at once.
