Machu+Pichu

**Machu Pichu (Miguel Cerezo Martinón)**

**__ 1.- DESCRIPTION __**

The construction of Machu Picchu began in AD 1400.However, it lost importance for the inca rulers when the spanish conquest started in the early 1500s. It was known only to locals until 1911 when the American historian Hiram Bingham reported it´s existence to the world. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of what the structures originally looked like.By 1976, thirty percent of Machu Picchu had been restored.The restoration work continues to this day.
