Machu Picchu
1. Set high in the Peruvian Andes, the ruins of the Inca city of Machu Picchu are among the world’s most magnetic tourist sights. Until recently reaching this mountain aerie meant a long, heart-pounding trek led by local guides. Today, globetrotting tourists arrive with nonchalant ease in air-conditioned comfort. Spanish colonialists, the collapse of high Incan culture, the elements, and natural calamities have done their best to wipe the historic architecture of Peru off the map.
2. The remote and haunting remains of Machu Picchu, however, allow us to see the great, rigid power of Inca architecture at its best and most daunting. The site of this powerful walled city, lying between two mountain peaks some 3,000 ft (900 m) above the Urubamba River, was a revered place long before the Incas began to build here with real purpose in about 1400. Inside the well-cut gray granite walls are the remains of a wide range of public buildings including palaces, baths, temples, storehouses, and burial grounds.
3. There are about 150 houses, gathered in groups around communal courtyards and aligned in terraces. The various parts of the city, on their complex series of terraces, were connected by grand stone stairs. One of the important remains found at Machu Picchu is the Intihuatana stone, used in an astronomical ritual for “tying” the sun to the earth at the midday equinox, in the perpetually vain hope of slowing its movement across the sky.
