Huayna Picchu rises over Machu Picchu, the so-called lost city of the Incas. The Incas built a trail up the side of the Huayna Picchu and built temples and terraces on its top. The peak of Huayna Picchu is 2,693 metres (8,835 ft) above sea level, or about 260 metres (850 ft) higher than Machu Picchu.

One of the most fascinating places I have ever visited. How was such a place accomplished at this elevation of 7,790' MSL (2430 m)? The various engineering disciplines involved are amazing. These were some smart and talented people!
The view as you enter the citadel from the terrace. At late afternoon very few tourists were still at the site.
Expedição Fotográfica Peru
Uma viagem ao Império Inca
De 16 a 24 de junho
Um sonho possível, essa expedição com trekking curtos foi pensada e formatada para quem gosta de fotografia e aventura, mas que não dispensa a segurança, o conforto de um banho quente e uma boa noite de sono. Assim, teremos a oportunidade de conhecer e fotografar, desde os centros urbanos, como Cusco e Águas Calhentes, Sítios Arqueológicos como a Cidade Inca de Machu Picchu e também tirar proveito de um acampamento de uma noite nas montanhas em Salkantay.

Peru
Machu Picchu is famous outside of Peru for its well-preserved Inca ruins and mountain terraces, and is known to have been constructed to be the official home of the Inca rulers in the middle of the 15th century, serving as a ceremonial centre for up to 750 residents at any given time.

My 5th visited of the New Seven Wonders of the World having seen the Colleseum in Rome Italy, the Great Wall in China, Taj Mahal in Agra India, and Petra in Jordan.
Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel, located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru, on a 2,430-metre (7,970 ft) mountain ridge. It is located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Machupicchu District, above the Sacred Valley, which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cuzco. The Urubamba River flows past it, cutting through the Cordillera and creating a canyon with a tropical mountain climate.
Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was constructed as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). Often mistakenly referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is the most familiar icon of Inca civilization. The Incas built the estate around 1450 but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish conquest. Although known locally, it was not known to the Spanish during the colonial period and remained unknown to the outside world until American historian Hiram Bingham brought it to international attention in 1911.
Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Its three primary structures are the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of how they originally appeared. By 1976, 30% of Machu Picchu had been restored and restoration continues.
Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historic Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide Internet poll.
