Situated high up in the mountains of south Peru, Machu Picchu is a breathtaking place. As per History.com, it’s thought to have been where the elite of Inca society spent their summers; the settlement was abandoned after the Spanish destroyed the wider Inca culture in the 16th century. The ruins then stood in secret for centuries, known only to people living locally in the area.
