Hidden away in the peaks of the Andes Mountains is a place like no other. Machu Picchu was once a thriving city before its time came up. But because of the American explorer, Hiram Bingham, looking for this place we might not have found it. In 1911 Hiram Bingham was looking for a place called Vilcabamba but instead found Machu Picchu. When he found Machu Picchu he thought it was the only Vilcabamba but, days later he found the real Vilcabamba and named the other mountain Machu Picchu. This place, Machu Picchu, is one of the greatest wonders of the world.
Each year, thousands of people come visit Peru to see the “city in the clouds!” Machu Picchu is made out of a block called a granite ashlar. Machu Picchu is easily the coolest place to go.
