Manchu Picchu means "Old Peak" and is an Inca Citadell from the 15th century. It is situated over 2000 meters above sea level in Peru. It was abandoned about 100 years after it was built and it was kept a secret from the world until 1911. On this day in 1911 found the American historian Hiram Bingham Manchu Picchu and brought the worlds attention to it. It has since become a popular tourist attraction and a Unesco World Heritage Site.
