Machu Picchu in Peru
"Built around 1450 as an Inca royal estate and abandoned a century later, Machu Picchu remained hidden above cloud forests until 1911, its dry-stone walls fitted without mortar to resist earthquakes. The citadel frames Huayna Picchu and Intihuatana. In this illustration, ashlar blocks, grassy terraces, and mountain mists invite gentle shading. Try granite grays, terraced field greens, and Andean sky blues to feel the high-altitude calm."
