Machu Picchu, 

Although the ruins of many ancient American civilizations have been lost due to decay or war, Machu Picchu remains basically untouched. It is believed that the site was an estate for the leader of the Incan Empire, but archeologists aren’t quite sure yet because the area was lost until 1911 when explorers rediscovered it. Today, thousands of tourists visit the ruins of Machu Picchu and stand in awe of the complex nature of the massive structures that sit on top of the mountain.
