Pro tips to help you make a pick
About Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu isn’t just 15-century ruins on a hill—it’s 32,592 acres of Incan genius. Wedged between the Andes and Amazon, this city boasts solstice-tracking temples, microclimate farming, and a water system that still works. Despite its grand nature, it was occupied for only a century before being mysteriously abandoned—making it both an archaeological treasure and history's most elaborate ghost town.
The Intihuatana Stone is an ancient Incan sundial that aligns perfectly with the sun during solstices. It was likely used for astronomical and ritual purposes.
The Incas transported and shaped massive stones for Machu Picchu’s construction without the use of wheels, iron tools, or draft animals!
The Incas constructed Machu Picchu using a technique called “ashlar,” where stones were cut so precisely that they fit together without mortar.
Archeologist Kenneth Wright estimates that only about 40% of Machu Picchu has been uncovered—the rest remains buried under dense jungle growth. Who knows what else might be hidden?
The Incas engineered an advanced drainage system that still keeps the site from washing away during heavy rains.
