Machu Picchu is Peru's lost city of the Incas — a highland citadel concealed among the clouds of the Andes at an elevation of 2,430 metres above sea level. Built in the fifteenth century, it continues to guard secrets that no expedition has yet managed to unravel. Visitors arrive from every continent, and each year hundreds of thousands of travellers pass through its ancient gates, never failing to be astonished — no matter how seasoned their wandering eye.

The number of residents is growing steadily due to the influx of immigrants.
