El monumento de la arquitectura inca recibe aproximadamente a un mill\u00f3n de turistas cada a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Machu Picchu, una de las 7 maravillas del mundo actualmente, es una impresionante ciudadela inca con templos, andenes y canales de agua que se ubica en lo m\u00e1s alto de una monta\u00f1a del Valle del r\u00edo Urubamba a 2 360 m.s.n.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El imponente monumento inca fue construido a mediados del S. XV d. C. por \u00f3rdenes del Inca Pachacutec, teniendo como objetivo expandir su imperio. El nombre de Machu Picchu fue dado por investigadores extranjeros durante el S. XIX y viene de una palabra Quechua compuesta que significa \u201cMonta\u00f1a vieja\u201d. Se calcula que en este recinto viv\u00edan alrededor de 300 personas de un alto rango social, en su mayor\u00eda parientes del inca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esta maravilla de la arquitectura Inca fue redescubierta oficialmente por el explorador norteamericano Hiram Bingham, inspirado por las historias del agricultor cuzque\u00f1o Agustin Lizarraga que empez\u00f3 a describir la milenaria ciudad luego de su llegada, el 14 de julio de 1902, seg\u00fan el escritor Am\u00e9rico Rivas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luego de una larga expedici\u00f3n, Bingham lleg\u00f3 a Machu Picchu el 24 de julio de 1911, guiado por el arrendatario Melchor Arteaga. Al darse cuenta del valor hist\u00f3rico que pose\u00eda el lugar, se comunic\u00f3 con la Universidad de Yale, la National Geographic Society y el Gobierno del Per\u00fa para solicitar auspicios y empezar los trabajos arqueol\u00f3gicos que duraron hasta 1915.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En el presente, Machu Picchu es el principal destino tur\u00edstico del Per\u00fa, recibiendo aproximadamente a un mill\u00f3n de turistas al a\u00f1o, seg\u00fan el Mincetur. El ser un impresionante monumento de la \u00e9poca pre \u2013 colombina, poseer un asombroso paisaje natural y mantener toda la m\u00edstica incaica en sus paredes, son las principales razones por las que los visitantes llegan fascinados a este atractivo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si es la primera vez que vas a recorrer esta maravilla de la arquitectura inca, te recomendamos visitar Machu Picchu pueblo que es la puerta de acceso a la ciudadela. Tambi\u00e9n puedes ir al Huayna Picchu y conocer el famoso templo de la luna, adem\u00e1s de disfrutar la impresionante vista que ofrece la monta\u00f1a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1No esperes m\u00e1s y ven a Machu Picchu! La maravilla del Per\u00fa para el mundo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
