Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu was a royal estate built for the Inca king Pachacutec around 1450. Some speculate the Inca city was a sacred center where the great political, religious and economic minds of the Inca Empire gathered. The population of Machu Picchu ranged between 300-1000 inhabitants and consisted mostly of members of Pachacutec’s lineage, religious elite, and highly specialised artisans recruited from across the empire, called yanaconas.
