Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas, where the last Incan emperors of ancient dynasties, priests and priestesses took refuge and where the Inca empire survived for 40 years after the arrival of the Spaniards. Secret, sacred and mysterious citadel from the time of Pachacutec Inca Yupanqui (IX-Inca`s Dinasty) emperor, his presumed constructor. Then apparently its existence was even well-known only by the authorities and the priests of the Tawantinsuyo “The four lands of the empire”.
