So what has caused the increase of people to a remote area in the eastern Andes above the Rio Urubamba? It is Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu the city built by the Inca during the 1400’s, was brought to the world’s attention by Hiram Bingham. This site contains numerous interesting objects the skillful Inca constructed from stone. After taking into account what is at Machu Picchu, one can see what lures hordes of individuals to this lost city in the mountains. How Did Machu Picchu Come to Be?

He then lead them to an unexpected victory over a invading rival group--the Chanca. The Inca were surrounded by similar proto-states that were continuously vying for control of neighboring regions.
