What is the name of the ancient city in Peru that is located on a mountain top with incredible views?

 Machu Picchu is the ancient city in Peru located on a mountain top with breathtaking views.

Machu Picchu, often referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas," is a remarkable ancient city nestled atop the Andes Mountains in Peru. This archaeological wonder is situated at an elevation of around 2,430 meters (7,970 feet) above sea level, offering awe-inspiring panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and the Urubamba River below. Built in the 15th century by the Inca emperor Pachacuti, Machu Picchu is renowned for its sophisticated dry-stone construction and intricate terracing.


The city served as a religious, agricultural, and administrative center for the Inca civilization but was abandoned and largely forgotten until its rediscovery in 1911 by American historian and explorer Hiram Bingham. Today, Machu Picchu stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts millions of visitors each year who come to marvel at its well-preserved architecture and experience the mystical aura of this ancient citadel.
