Highlights
Machupicchu Historic Sanctuary is located in the district of Machupicchu, in the province of Urubamba in the department of Cusco. It has an extension of 32,592 hectares. It is a protected natural area of international renown, well known for the presence of impressive Inca archaeological complexes, archaeological sites and monuments of high historical-cultural value.
However, the sanctuary also presents an important environmental value, with forested areas, steep mountains and snow-capped peaks. It is a zone of interaction between the Andean and Amazonian domains; and it is part of a narrow transition belt between both ecosystems. The terrain is predominantly rugged and steep slopes.
Machu Picchu is located in an area of exceptional geographical characteristics. You can find everything from snow-capped peaks above 6,000 m.a.s.l. to the wettest and hottest zone of the Urubamba River below 2,000 m.a.s.l. Its strong gradient, enhanced by the complex system of winds that it propitiates, creates microclimates that are a source of great biological diversity.
To this exceptional natural wealth is added the incomparable archaeological jewel of Machupicchu, a place that was declared a Mixed World Heritage Site -natural and cultural- by UNESCO in 1983. Machu Picchu is undoubtedly one of the strongest magnetic points in South America and the country.
The Sanctuary presents tropical vegetation in the lower part of the western sector, in the basin of the Aobamba River. It is a typical ecosystem of the so-called “jungle eyebrows”, which take this name because they constitute the last remnant of native vegetation in this mountainous area, are the upper limit to where the tropical vegetation reaches in this part of the Andes. The jungle eyebrow presents a great diversity of flora and fauna species, which together with the mountain ecosystems make Machupicchu a special place.
