A breathtaking aerial view of Machu Picchu, the 15th-century Inca citadel nestled high in the Andes Mountains of Peru. The iconic archaeological site showcases remarkable stone architecture with precisely cut blocks forming terraces, plazas, and buildings against the backdrop of Huayna Picchu mountain. The site features well-preserved grey stone structures, vibrant green terraces, and agricultural zones, all surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks shrouded in clouds.
