MACHU PICCHU, Peru Vacation

Machu Picchu a historical Inca city located in the High Andes Mountains of Peru. Machu Picchu is located 43 miles north-west of Cuzco on top of the ridge. The surroundings are covered by dense bush that is covering some Pre-Colombian cultivation terraces.

Machu Picchu means "manly peak") was a royal city and religious retreat of the Inca culture. The city of Machu Picchu was build somewhere between 1460 and 1470 AD by Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui, an Inca ruler. The city is located at an altitude of 8000 feet above the Urubamba River Canyon. Machu Picchu is a city with approximately 200 buildings most of them residences, temples, storage rooms and other public buildings. Machu Picchu has a polygonal masonry typical of the late Inca period.

Approximately 1200 people used to live in the Machu Picchu area and most the inhabitants were women, children and priest of the community. Most of the buildings were made of granite blocks that fit perfectly without mortar, although none of the blocks are the same size and have many faces some of them with as many as 30 corners. The tight way the stones have been jointed does not even allow a thin knife to penetrate between them. The Incas planted crops such as potatoes and maize at Machu Picchu. To get the highest yield possible, they used advanced terracing and irrigation methods to reduce erosion and increase the area available for cultivation. However, it probably did not produce a large enough surplus to export agricultural products to Cuzco, the Incan capital.

Very few people outside the Inca’s closest retainers were actually aware of Machu Picchu’s existence. Before the Spanish conquistadors arrived, the smallpox spread ahead of them. The disease had killed Fifty percent of the population by 1527. The government began to fail, part of the empire seceded and it fell into civil war. So by the time Pizarro, the Inca’s conqueror, arrived in Cuzco in 1532, Machu Picchu was already forgotten.

Hotels in Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu has very few hotels. In fact the Sanctuary Lodge is the closest one to the ruins. Other hotels are located in Aguas Calientes the closest town to the ruins.
