The mysterious ruins of Machu Picchu are one of the most intriguing places in the world. They are located on a small hill among the Andean peaks, at a respectable altitude of 2,400 metres. The majestic ruins offer spectacular views of the Urabamba Valley.
Machu Picchu has been voted one of the seven new wonders of the world. This gives it a rightful place among other winners such as the Great Wall of China, the Colosseum in Rome, the Taj Mahal, Chichen Itza, Petra and the sculpture of Christ the Redeemer near Rio.
