Machu Picchu, a mountain or prominence with a broad base which ends in sharp peaks is a 15th-century Inca site located 2,430 metres (7,970 ft) above sea level. Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (14381472). Often mistakenly referred to as the “Lost City of the Incas”, it is perhaps the most familiar icon of Inca civilization.

The sanction for filming was granted only after direct intervention from the Indian government.
