Built in the 15th century by the Inca civilisation, this spectacular stone citadel combines extraordinary engineering with dramatic natural scenery. Often called the “Lost City of the Incas,” Machu Picchu features terraced ruins, temples, and plazas that reflect the sophistication of Inca architecture, urban planning and spiritual life. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983, it’s recognised not only for its cultural significance but also for the stunning landscapes that surround it, making it one of the most iconic heritage destinations in the world
