The Astonishing Metamorphosis of World Wonders Over Time

As one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, we’re all familiar with Machu Picchu, but do you know the history behind it? Machu Picchu as it looks today, including the thousands of tourists visiting the place on a weekly basis, is quite different than what it used to look like 100 years ago.

The Incan Empire citadel dates back to the 15th-century, but the historical citadel we’re familiar with is a reconstruction of the original structures. Reconstruction and restoration of Machu Picchu are still taking place in order to give tourists a better idea of the original buildings and structures.
