Here's something to know about the Wonder.

  1. Machu Picchu was built with dry stone walls.
  2. It covers about 80536 acres in area and approximately 353 square kilometers.
  3. The city is situated about 7970 feet above sea level, which means reaching the city in the rainy days can be a little difficult.
    So just in case you want to take a tour to this great wonder you'll have to be ready for a long long walk.c110e43c7f657c91b3b0a6ae7e14d217.jpg
