Machu Picchu, Peru.
The area built in Machu Picchu is 530 meters long by 200 meters wide and includes at least 172 enclosures. The complex is clearly divided into two large zones: the agricultural zone, formed by sets of cultivated terraces, which lies to the south; and the urban zone, which is where its occupants lived and where the main civil and religious activities were developed. The two zones are separated by a wall, a moat and a staircase, elements that run parallel by the face east of the mountain.
The city is a complex of more than 200 dwellings, most of them are houses, some of them interesting temples. You will also see caves, a park, agricultural terraces, waterways, fountains, a quarry (where the building materials were extracted), prison, cemetery, squares, warehouses, tracks, bridges, gates, stairs, etc.
