Right now I am on a mountain surrounded by rain forest in Peru. I am visiting Machu Picchu, a abandoned ancient civilization built by the Incas. They were very advanced and thought of many ways to inprove there living, like leveling the earth into giant steps so they could farm on the steep slope.
Did you know...
Often referred to as "The Lost City of the Incas", Machu Picchu is the most known symbol of the Inca Empire.
Machu Picchu is one of the New Seven Wonders Of The World.
The site was built around 1460 but abandoned as an official site for the Inca rulers after a century.
The site was forgotten by the world until 1911, when it was discovered by Hiram Bingham, an American historian.
Machu Picchu is built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls.
