A map of [Machu Picchu](https://www.worldhistory.org/Machu_Picchu/), the [Inca](https://www.worldhistory.org/Inca_Civilization/) site in the high Andes in the Urubamba Valley. The settlement was founded by [Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui](https://www.worldhistory.org/Pachacuti_Inca_Yupanqui/) in c. 1450 CE. Typical of [Inca architecture](https://www.worldhistory.org/Inca_Architecture/), the settlement follows the contours of the natural topography.
