==HISTORY: it was built around 1450 by the Incan empire, but once spaniards began to conquer South America was abandoned. Researchers have found that it was probably one of the Incan emperor Pachacuti's estates. The city is located 50 miles from the Incan capitol Cuzco.==

==NOW: it is a very important tourist attraction and a marvel to all South Americans, to show how skilled and advanced of a civilation the Incans were. Macchu Picchu is home to certain important Incan structures so there is a lot of controversy over how much of a tourist attraction it should be.==
