So I was reading more about Machu Picchu. I had originally just read information on it on the wikipedia website, but today I went to http://www.peru-machu-picchu.com/ to learn a little bit more about it. I haven't gotten too much more, but I'll add what I got. First off I should add that Machu Picchu is in Peru, I forgot to write that in my last post.
Machu Picchu is 7,000 feet above sea level. It is on top of a small hill resting between the Andean Mountain range. It it separated into three areas: agricultural, urban, and religious. The aqueducts and terraces work well with the natural slopes. The lower area is where the farmers and teachers live. At the top of the hill are where most of the important religious buildings are, looking over the Urubamba valley below.
