MACHU PICCHU |
|
|
|
Three thousand feet above Urubamba Valley, Peru, stretch two
mountains, Machu Picchu (Old Mountain) and Huayna Picchu (Young
Mountain). On a cloud-draped ridge between the two peaks lies the
site of Machu Picchu, part of the estate of the Inca king Pachacuti
[AD 1438-1471]. The site is made up of single buildings arranged in
groups, along streets, adjacent to plazas and terraces. Most of the
buildings are residences, some of white granite masonry such as that
seen in the city of Cuzco. Some of the buildings, which must have
been for special purposes, are partly carved into the bedrock and
partly built from finely cut white granite. |
