Machu Picchu, the iconic Inca city in the Andes of Peru, is a masterpiece of architecture and a symbol of the remarkable achievements of the Inca civilization. Perched on a mountain ridge at 2,430 meters above sea level, Machu Picchu offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and tells a rich history. Built in the 15th century, the city features precisely crafted stone structures, temples, and terraces that continue to evoke wonder and mystery. This NFT showcases a stunning image of Machu Picchu, capturing the magic and historical legacy of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a tribute to the harmonious connection between humanity and nature.
You can reach the Inca city of Machu Picchu from Cusco by train that goes to Aquas Calientes. From there, the serpentine bus takes you up to the city. Machu Picchu can also be reached on authentic paths via the Inca Trail (Camino Inca) - a multi-day hike over several high passes along the Urubamba Valley.
We stayed in Aquas Calientes and had this wonderful stone city of the Incas almost to ourselves after the day tourists left in the late afternoon. Together with the excellent weather, there were ideal recording conditions.
