Built in the 15th century by the Inca Emperor Pachacútec, Machu Picchu was likely a royal estate or sacred site. It was abandoned during the Spanish conquest and remained hidden until its rediscovery in 1911.
Located at 2,430 meters (7,970 feet) above sea level, Machu Picchu sits in the cloud forest region of the Andes, offering a mix of lush greenery and dramatic mountain scenery.
Machu Picchu has a humid subtropical climate, with warm days (19–25°C / 66–77°F) and cooler nights (5–10°C / 41–50°F). The dry season (May–September) is ideal for clear views, while the rainy season (November–March) provides misty, mystical landscapes.
