It is located on the summit of a mountain of the Andes, at an altitude of 2,430 m, on the Urubamba Valley, 88 km from the Peruvian city of Cusco. The city was built around 1450 by Pachacutec Yupanqui, an Incan ruler. While the Spanish invaders occupied these places in 1532, this city, which was between dense mountains, was not noticed by the invaders and thus was not damaged. Shortly after the construction of the city was completed, the city had to be abandoned due to the smallpox epidemic that spread. Machu Picchu consists of stone structures connected by a system of more than 200 stairs. The city's 3000 steps are still in good condition today. It is thought that the special stones used in the construction of the city were carried from the valley to the summit by a rail rope system. In addition, there is a 2720-meter-high mountain called Huayna Picchu right next to it. The pathway to this mountain is in the form of a secret passage that is invisible when viewed from Machu Picchu, and the climb takes about 2 hours. From the summit of Huayna Picchu, it is possible to observe the entire city of Machu Picchu and its surroundings 360 degrees.
The purpose and meaning of its establishment is the subject of debate until today. Since there are not many clues with scientific evidence that have survived to the present day, only guesses can be made. Therefore, the city, whose name was unknown at that time, took its name from a mountain peak that is nearby today. The parts of the city consisting of terraces used as agricultural areas are at the foot of the mountain called the Old Peak At the end of the city rises...
Read moreI don't usually write bad reviews but this shop deserves one, the staff are very rude, first time i get asked to pay extra when i ordered two burges one without tomato and the other without onion and with tomato instead, and they managed to not do any even after paying extra!!

And u get the sauce in a plastic dip container that is impossible to add to your burger and thry keep the old sauce the u literally paid to be swapped!!! And they also act rude again when u tell them this, bad experience 2 times in a row ,...
Read moreFirst of all... they do have great burgers but boy are they expensive. 10 EUR for just a plain and not very big cheeseburger (I had the Lil' Bro) isn't just overpriced but a rip-off! We had 2 of those and the chili cheese fries. 27 EUR 🙈
That's basically as much as 4 daily lunches at one of the traditional restaurants at the Alter Markt in Dortmund.
Compared to Peter Pane, Hans im Glueck and Five Guys they still offer the much better deal. Especially in terms of the quality ingredients you get at Burger Brothers.
So if you are into pricey and great quality burgers... this might...
