Machu Picchu is located about 70 miles (112 kilometers) from Cuzco, the center of the ancient Inca Empire. It sits at the top of a ridge between two mountain peaks at an elevation of 8,040 feet (2,451 meters), invisible from the forest and winding Urubamba River gorge below. The city's stone-walled buildings and terraced fields cover about 5 square miles (13 square km).
