Which New7Wonders site is a pre-Columbian city in Peru?

The New7Wonders site that is a pre-Columbian city in Peru is Machu Picchu.

Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel built high in the Andes of southern Peru, at about 2,430 meters above sea level. Archaeologists generally date its construction to around 1450 and associate it with the reign of the Inca ruler Pachacuti. Its finely fitted stone walls, terraces, temples, stairways, and water channels show the Incas’ remarkable ability to build on steep mountain terrain.

The site was probably abandoned during the 16th century, around the period of the Spanish conquest, although the Spanish never recorded discovering it. Local people knew of the ruins, and Agustín Lizárraga visited in 1902; American historian Hiram Bingham brought the site broad international attention in 1911.

A common mix-up is calling Machu Picchu the “Lost City of the Incas.” That nickname is popular, but the site was more likely a royal estate, ceremonial center, or sacred settlement than a conventional city. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007.
