Machu Picchu

High in the Andes lies one of the world's most famous archaeological sites.

It was built by a civilization without iron tools, wheeled transportation, or a conventional writing system, yet its builders created extraordinary stonework, terraces, fountains, and drainage systems on a steep mountain ridge.

For centuries, it remained largely unknown beyond the surrounding region before the wider world learned of it in the early twentieth century.
