Machu Picchu is located in the Andes mountains of Peru, which sit at the boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate. This region is characterized by complex tectonic interactions, including subduction, which contributes to the area's seismic activity and geological features. The movement of these plates has shaped the landscape and contributed to the formation of the Andes, where Machu Picchu is situated.
