Machu Picchu
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
Machu Picchu is an Inca site in Peru perched high upon a rock in a narrow saddle between two sharp mountain peaks. Spreading over 5 sq mi (13 sq km), with over 3,000 steps linking its many different levels, the imposing city is one of the largest pre-Columbian sites found virtually intact. It contains rare examples of religious monuments, including a carved stone, a small tower, and a cave with a masonry entrance. What does "Machu Picchu" mean in the South American language of Quechua?
