Machu Picchu is a famous Inca site found deep in the mountains of Peru. Sometimes known as 'The Lost City of the Incas', it was largely unknown by the outside world until it was brought to international attention in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, an American historian. It is now a popular tourist destination with many people trekking through the mountains to reach the famous landmark every year. This photo shows the famous location sitting amongst white clouds.
