The sun's temple called Qorikancha is one of the best preserved Inca sanctuaries.
Machu Picchu is the ultimate place to indulge into Inca culture. It is believed that the city was built for the Inca ruler Pachacuti. The city was established in the early 15th century but was abandoned because of the Spanish Conquest. Due to this fact and because it wasn't discovered until the early 20th century, it is often called "the lost city of the Incas”. Visiting Machu Picchu you will be able to witness the marvellous heritage of Incas, their lifestyle and important buildings such as sanctuaries, astronomical observatories and royal palaces.
