Unit 3 (Unlock 3)

The photograph shows the ruins of Machu Picchu, a 15th-century Inca site in Peru. This 'lost city' is located 2,430 metres above sea level and was originally built in around 1450. It was abandoned a hundred years later, and only discovered in 1911. It is now one of the most famous tourist sites in the world, and a symbol of the great Inca civilization.
