The urban area of the Machu Picchu was meant for the Incas population to live and organize their social and religious activities. This area features Hanan, known as the High Sector and Urin which also called as the Low Sector. The High Sector in the urban area was inhabited by the Inca and his descendants while the Low Sector was home to the rest of the population. Beside the urban area, Machu Picchu also features the agricultural area where we can spot large Inca terraces.
