| 15th-century Inca citadel in the Peruvian Andes and UNESCO World Heritage Site | WIKI |
| Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel, located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru, on a 2,430-meter (7,970xc2xa0ft) mountain ridge. | WIKI |
| Most archeologists believe that Machu Picchu was constructed as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438xe2x80x931472). | WIKI |
| Often mistakenly referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is the most familiar icon of Inca civilization. | WIKI |
| Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. | WIKI |
| [17] Construction appears to date from two great Inca rulers, Pachacutec Inca Yupanqui (1438xe2x80x931471) and Txc3xbapac Inca Yupanqui (1472xe2x80x931493). | WIKI |

| This explains why when studies were done on the food that the Inca ate at Machu Picchu, it was found that most of what they ate was imported from the surrounding valleys and farther afield. | WIKI |
| Even though Machu Picchu was located only about 80 kilometers (50xc2xa0mi) from the Inca capital in Cusco, the Spanish never found it and so did not plunder or destroy it, as they did many other sites. | WIKI |
| In 1911 American historian and explorer Hiram Bingham traveled the region looking for the old Inca capital and was led to Machu Picchu by a villager, Melchor Arteaga. | WIKI |
| In 1983, UNESCO designated Machu Picchu a World Heritage site, describing it as "an absolute masterpiece of architecture and a unique testimony to the Inca civilization". | WIKI |
| In 1909, returning from the Pan-American Scientific Congress in Santiago, he travelled through Peru and was invited to explore the Inca ruins at Choqquequirau in the Apurxc3xadmac Valley. | WIKI |
| He organized the 1911 Yale Peruvian Expedition in part to search for the Inca capital, which was thought to be the city of Vitcos. | WIKI |
| En route, Bingham asked local people to show them Inca ruins, especially any place described as having a white rock over a spring. | WIKI |
| He took preliminary notes, measurements, and photographs, noting the fine quality of Inca stonework of several principal buildings. | WIKI |
| Guided by locals, Bingham rediscovered and correctly identified the site of the old Inca capital, Vitcos (then called Rosaspata), and the nearby temple of Chuquipalta. | WIKI |
| Bingham focused on Machu Picchu because of its fine Inca stonework and well-preserved nature, which had lain undisturbed since the site was abandoned. | WIKI |

| The Inca Bridge, an Inca grass rope bridge, across the Urubamba River in the Pongo de Mainique, provided a secret entrance for the Inca army. | WIKI |
| Another Inca bridge was built to the west of Machu Picchu, the tree-trunk bridge, at a location where a gap occurs in the cliff that measures 6 meters (20xc2xa0ft). | WIKI |
| [46] Two high-altitude routes from Machu Picchu cross the mountains back to Cusco, one through the Sun Gate, and the other across the Inca bridge. | WIKI |

| Interior of an Inca building, featuring trapezoidal windows | WIKI |
| The central buildings use the classical Inca architectural style of polished dry-stone walls of regular shape. | WIKI |
| Instead, the Inca mined stones from the quarry at the site,[61] lined them up and shaped them to fit together perfectly, stabilizing the structures. | WIKI |
| Inca walls have many stabilizing features: doors and windows are trapezoidal, narrowing from bottom to top; corners usually are rounded; inside corners often incline slightly into the rooms, and outside corners were often tied together by "L"-shaped blocks; walls are offset slightly from row to row rather than rising straight from bottom to top. | WIKI |
| [79] As a result of his research as director of the Park, the construction processes and functions of the sanctuary were acknowledged by the scientific community and a better understanding of the Inca landscape was given to the general public, who increasingly started to implement more sustainable tourism in the area, as a sign of respect for the site. | WIKI |
