The Machu Picchu was abandoned during the second half of the sixteenth century; however, it was never lost as it was occasionally visited and inhabited by local farmers. Some colonial documents refer to the Inca LLaqta of Machu Picchu as the "Settlement of the Incas" or the "Old Village of the Incas named Huayna Picchu". In 1874, the names "Machu Picchu" and "Huayna Picchu" appear for the first time in a cartographic document, which was prepared by engineer Herman Göhring. In 1911, Professor Hiram Bingham visited the llaqta and was impressed with its beauty and majesty. The following year he returned with a multidisciplinary team of professionals who conducted excavations and research in the area.

The Machu Picchu was planned and built around 1450 CE during the reign of Inca Pachacutec. Its construction demanded the participation of specialists in architecture, engineering, astronomy, and massive amounts of labor. More than 50% of the work required for its erection was focused on site preparation, the foundation and the drainage system. Its construction responds to the need of the Inca State to have a religious, political and administrative center within a sacred space that is the link between the Andes and the Amazon.
