Located in the Eastern Cordillera of Southern Peru, South America, Machu Picchu is a site of ancient Inca ruins of the 15th century. It continues to reveal the mysteries of the Inca Empire and was listed as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983, Machu Picchu sits at about 2,430 meters above sea level. The site was built in the classical Inca style, having polished dry-stone walls. Each stone is so precisely cut and fitted together tightly, that no mortar was needed to keep the walls standing. The climate generally remains warm and humid during the day and cool during the night.
