Machu Picchu Overview


This is an overview.  Just to the upper left of center is the "royal" section, built higher on the mountain with more attention to detail (and the first area to receive the water).  Just beyond that is the "sacred" section where religious ceremonies were held.  To the right and lower on the mountain was the area for the workers.  The stone terraces provided both an area for agriculture and stability of the soil.  It's simply amazing.
