Machupicchu Wonder of the World. Machupicchu is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World and the main tourist destination for visitors to South America and of course, Peru. The name of Machupicchu comes from the Quechua “Machu” which translated into English means “old” and “Picchu” which means “Mountain or hill.” That is, when it comes to Machupicchu, we speak of the Old Mountain. Machupicchu is the current name of this great Wonder of the World; in the time of the Incas Machupicchu’s original name would have been Picho or Picchu. http://ping.fm/7HOgJ
