This is Machu Picchu, in the Peruvian Andes. I have not yet been there but I may be going there this summer. Machu Picchu is of course not a single building but actually a temple complex with many buildings, and as they are no longer used (or have roofs) they are perhaps more accurately described as ruins than buildings. But still, what a great use of siting. I really hope I get to make this trip. It has to be one of the best preserved examples of pre-Colombian architecture in the Western Hemisphere.
