Description

📖 Between Legend and Reality:
A city hidden in the peaks of the Andes Mountains: Machu Picchu.
Built by the Incas in the 15th century, this sacred city remained unknown to the outside world for centuries.
According to legend, Machu Picchu was a heavenly city founded by the Inca kings to be closer to the skies. It was a place of worship full of secrets, inhabited only by selected priests and nobles.
Hidden from the Spanish conquerors, the city earned the title of the “lost city.” By the time it was rediscovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, nature had already begun reclaiming it.
