Today, I want to tell you about Machu Picchu. It’s an ancient Incan city high up in the Andes Mountains of Peru. For a long time, it was lost in the jungle, forgotten by people. In 1911, a professor named Hiram Bingham was looking for another city, but he unexpectedly found Machu Picchu instead. Imagine that! It had been hidden for so many years, and he was the one to rediscover it. People aren’t entirely sure why Machu Picchu was abandoned, but some think it might have been used for important ceremonies or by a king a long time ago. Now, let me show you some pictures that capture the beauty and history of Machu Picchu.
