Machu Picchu Today. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983 and designated one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, Machu Picchu is Peruâs most visited attraction and South Americaâs most famous ruins, welcoming hundreds of thousands of people a year.
Nestled in the mountain ridge above the Urabamba Valley in Peru lies one of the Wonders of the World, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary. The Lost City of the Incas, known as Machu Picchu in Quechua, is a historical jewel visited by hundreds of thousands of people each year. Located only 50 mi (80 km) northwest of Cuzco and 7,970 ft (2,430 m) above sea level, Machu Picchu is one of the most important icons of the Inca world. The Incas built Machu Picchu around 1450 but abandoned it only a century later, in 1572, during the Spanish conquest.
