Machu Picchu - Inca Construction

Machu Picchu - Inca Construction

“Machu Picchu is a pre-Columbian Inca city located at 2,430 m (7,970 ft) altitude on a mountain ridge northwest of Cusco. Machu Picchu is probably the most familiar symbol of the Inca Empire. It is often referred to as “The Lost City of the Incas”. The site was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1983 when it was described as “an absolute masterpiece of architecture and a unique testimony to the Inca civilization”.

Forgotten for centuries by the outside world, although not by locals, it was brought back to international attention by archaeologist Hiram Bingham in 1911, who made the first scientific confirmation of the site and wrote a best-selling work about it.”

In this beautiful image, we can see one of the most well conserved Inca constructions at the Machu Pichhu site. The use of soft focus and sepia tone gives this image an atemporal look.

This photo is a testimonial to the geniality of the Incas, and a must for anyone interested in the history of the South American civilzation.
