Photo Of The Day: Machu Picchu At Dawn

photo of the day
This Photo of the Day is titled "Machu Picchu at Dawn" and comes from Gadling Flickr pool member Terra_Tripper.

Machu Picchu is located on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, South America. Built for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472), Machu Picchu is commonly referred to as the "City of the Incas" and is one of the most familiar icons of ancient Inca civilization.

Looking for more information about Machu Picchu? See Gadling's library of posts on the subject.

Upload your best shots to the Gadling Group Pool on Flickr. Several times a week we choose our favorite images from the pool as a Photo of the Day.

Sunrise at Machu Picchu is a special time as also captured by this time-lapse video.
