Machu Picchu is located above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, about 70 km (44 mi) northwest of Cusco.

Magyar: A Machu Picchu (kecsua nyelven: Machu Pikchu, „Öreg csúcs”) az egykori Inka Birodalom romvárosa Peruban. Az Andok hegyláncai között bújik meg a kis erődített város, amelyet 1450 körül Pacsakutek Yupanki inka király (1438-1471) parancsára építettek. A város fél évszázadig virágzott, majd kb. 400 évig „pihent”, míg 1911-ben újra felfedezték. Cuzco várostól északnyugatra, kb. 70 km-re található.
