What is the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu?
The Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu is an internationally renowned protected natural area spanning 32,592 hectares, widely known for its impressive Inca archaeological complexes, sites, and monuments of great historical and cultural value.
However, the sanctuary also possesses significant environmental value, featuring forested areas, rugged mountains, and snow-capped peaks. It serves as a zone of interaction between the Andean and Amazonian realms, forming part of a narrow transition strip between these two ecosystems.
