5. Machu Picchu - Peru
The dream destination of millions of people across the
world, Machu Picchu is one of the seven wonders of the world. It
is located in the Cusco Region of Peru’s Machupicchu District.
According to the majority of archaeologists, the Inca emperor
Pachacuti built Machu Picchu as an estate around the year 1450.
The site developed as a city but was abandoned a century later
during the Spanish Conquest. The site remained largely unknown
to the rest of the world until its discovery by the American
explorer Hiram Bingham. Machu Picchu is a great representation
of the Incan way of life.
