Location
Machu Picchu is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in the Andes Mountains of Peru. It is situated on a mountain ridge high above the Urubamba River valley, approximately 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Cusco.
History
Machu Picchu is a fifteenth century Inca citadel perched on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba River in the Peruvian Andes, showcasing Inca engineering with dry stone walls that have withstood centuries of earthquakes; believed to have been built around 1450 as a royal estate for Emperor Pachacuti, it was abandoned less than a century later, likely in the wake of the Spanish conquest, and remained unknown to the outside world until Hiram Bingham’s 1911 expedition; its exact purpose is still debated, from royal retreat to ceremonial sanctuary, and today it is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Altitude
The citadel itself sits at an elevation of 7,972 feet (2,430 meters), which is lower than the city of Cusco (11,152 feet / 3,400 meters). This difference in altitude means the weather is generally milder than in Cusco.
Weather
Machu Picchu has a subtropical mountain climate with a dry season from April to October and a rainy season from November to March. Temperatures are generally mild year-round, but nights can be cool.
Difficulty
The tour of the main citadel is generally considered to be of low to moderate difficulty, as it involves walking on uneven stone paths and steps. It is suitable for most fitness levels, but visitors should be prepared for some walking.
