Brief Description
"Machu Picchu stands 2,430 m above sea-level, in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. It was probably the most amazing urban creation of the Inca Empire at its height; its giant walls, terraces and ramps seem as if they have been cut naturally in the continuous rock escarpments. The natural setting, on the eastern slopes of the Andes, encompasses the upper Amazon basin with its rich diversity of flora and fauna."

马丘比丘古神庙
"马丘比丘古庙位于一座非常美丽的高山上，海拔2430 米，为热带丛林所包围。该庙可能是印加帝国全盛时期最辉煌的城市建筑，那巨大的城墙、台阶、扶手都好像是在悬崖峭壁自然形成的一样。古庙矗立在安第斯山脉 东边的斜坡上，环绕着亚马逊河上游的盆地，那里的动植物非常丰富。 "
