About the Picture Slideshow/Slide Show: Review: Machu Picchu ( "Old Peak") is a pre-Columbian Inca city located at 2,430 mt (7,970 ft) altitude on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, about 70 km northwest of Cusco. In 1981 an area of 325.92 square kilometres surrounding Machu Picchu was declared a "Historical Sanctuary" of Peru. This area, which is not only limited to the ruins themselves, also includes the regional landscape with its flora and fauna, highlighting the abundance of orchids. As Peru’s most visited tourist attraction and major revenue generator, it is continually threatened by economic and commercial forces.
