Ancient Incan Ruins at Machu Picchu

Perched atop the verdant Andes Mountains in Peru, these ancient stone ruins of Machu Picchu are a testament to the ingenuity of the Incas. Terraced agricultural fields cascade down the mountain's ridge as remnants of grand palaces stand guard over the historic sanctuary. Clouds weave through the towering peaks above while tourists explore this World Heritage site that blends harmoniously into its natural surroundings.
