PHOTO: Steep Mountains and a Deep River Gorge Made Machu Picchu Inca Ruins Virtually Impenetrable June 29, 2021February 21, 2012 by Barbara Weibel SharePinTweetFlip
I’m wondering what was the reason they built it all the way up here – it may have been impenetrable but difficult to live here too! Reply
Hi Heather: Actually, I think they had it pretty good up there. They had a reliable, secure source of water, great climate for growing stuff, etc. And they were totally safe from attack, not to mention one of the greatest views in the world. Reply
