Whatever its origins, the Inca turnedthe site into a small (5 square miles) but extraordinary city.Invisible from below and completely self-contained, surrounded byagricultural terraces sufficient to feed the population, and watered bynatural springs, Machu Picchu seems to have been utilized by the Inca as a secret ceremonial city.
