Machu Picchu is well known because it was built by human hands for so many years, by a very advanced and also almost unknown civilization, and it was sitting in silence at the top of the world for at least 1000 years. Now is that cool or what? Machu Picchu is one of The Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu is in Cusco Peru and is beautiful and sacred, you can visit Machu Picchu, SacsayHuaman, Choquequirao, Ollantaytambo, sacred Valley by Inca Trail or train.
Constructed over 600 years ago, Machu Picchu is known as the Lost City of the Incas. While visiting Mach Picchu on your own will afford breathtaking views of the Andean mountains and the well-preserved Incan structures, only a guided tour can give you in-depth insight into the history, culture and practices of the ancient Incan civilization.
It's called the Lost City of the Incas because it was built before Spanish arrived, probably when the Inca civilization was at its peak. The mecca was abandoned at one point but also remained "undiscovered" until 1911. It's the most intact representation of the civilization. At many other Inca sites things were destroyed or defaced during Spanish colonization or over time. Machu Picchu was basically preserved for a few hundred years by the overgrowing jungle that hid it.

Nothing tore it down. Its buildings were built with strong stone inlays, and they were able to be restored by workers in the recent years. The workers are still restoring it to this day.
