Discovered in the 1910s, Peru’s Machu Picchu is a breathtaking site believed to date back far before the 1400s when the Incas used the mountainous area for religious ceremonies. Rising more than 2,000 feet above the Urubamba River, Machu Picchu is home to ancient dwellings, ruins of palaces, ancient baths, ruins of temples, and more. One of the most impressive features of this large area is that the buildings were erected from stone blocks that weigh more than 50 tons, so how they were placed into position remains a major mystery. Burial sites are found in Machu Picchu and while some felt the area was a training ground for priestesses, a number of male skeletons have been found which disputes that earlier belief.
