Additional Information
Machu Picchu Peru:
The Llaqta of Machu Picchu represents a masterpiece of art, architecture and engineering in perfect harmony with nature and is the most important legacy of the Inka civilization to humanity.
It was abandoned during the second half of the 16th century; however, it was never lost as it was visited and inhabited occasionally. There are colonial documents that refer to the llaqta of Machu Picchu as the “Seat of the Incas” or the “Ancient Town of the Inca Named Huaynapicchu”.
In 1911, Professor Hiram Bingham visited Llaqta and was struck by its beauty and majesty. The following year, he returned with a multidisciplinary team of professionals who carried out excavations and research in the area.
The SHM-PANM is a natural and cultural area inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. With an area of 37,302 hectares (92,175 acres), it is one of the areas with the greatest biological wealth in Peru and houses more than sixty archaeological monuments linked by a complex network of Inca roads .
Since the 1930s, the Peruvian State has been promoting the research, conservation and protection of the cultural (Ministry of Culture) and natural (Ministry of the Environment) heritage of the SHM- PANM because it is one of the most important areas of the country and where tourism is developed in a sustainable manner.
