Spanish explorers did not find Machu Picchu during their conquests in the 16th century primarily because it was abandoned and hidden by dense vegetation. Additionally, the site was located in a remote and rugged area of the Andes Mountains, making it difficult to access. The Inca civilization had already suffered significant decline due to Spanish conquests and diseases, leading to the abandonment of such sites. As a result, Machu Picchu remained largely forgotten until its rediscovery in the early 20th century.
