When I first visited Machu Picchu I didn’t notice the face until our tour guide pointed it out. He said that it was supposed to be the face of the king that ruled the Incas.

Looks a little like Abraham Lincoln exhaling smoke through his nose.

This is kinda like the 5th face of mount Rushmore. It was another optical illusion on this website.

ok, ok, it’s fake but it’s fun…

did anyone also see a giant gorilla attacking the city? :) his head is where the nose is and riht arm is upwards and right hand downwards as if he is in movement to crush the city…

maybe that is what really happened to those people :P

A native told us that the face appears only on the Summer Solstice.
This may have been the reason the Inca’s people chose that site to build their city…
We went to another site, in the Sacred Valley, called, Ollantaytambo. There too, you can see a face in the mountain. Our guide showed us. We could see it clearly.

I did an eye mission trip to Peru last year and visited this site. I have pictures taken of this very area in the horizontal format. The actual image does have a little resemblance to a human profile (very little if you have lots of imagination). This photo has been severely photoshopped to make this illusion. Not real!!
Sorry.

Yep, it’s a fake, I’m a veteran mountain guide here in South America, and have been guiding in Peru, including Machu Picchu for over 10 years. I examined the photo and compared it with real images that I’ve taken. Sorry, no face that looks like that…I agree with earlier post by local guide from http://www.cuscoplanet.com/images/machupicchu.jpg, it’s been doctored. More specifically, the middle mountains aren’t as high. Why bother doing that? If you want to see an amazing image with an actual face, maybe the one that’s rumoured to exist, that I took a few days ago, that hasn’t been doctored with Photoshop, see http.mtnspirit.wordpress.com (not posted yet though, the next few days) It’s an image that stunned me, as I’ve been taking shots for years at Machu Picchu. This was the first time I’d taken a shot from the Gateway of the Sun on the Inka Trail though. The first time I was at the Gateway to the Sun, ten years ago, it was cloudy, so didn’t take a shot at this angle. This past week-end I did, and the image is easily verifiable by anyone willing to find a similar shot from the same angle. Ykes, I’m still in shock! R. Richards, founder Mountain Spirit Institute
