| Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel, located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru, on a 2,430-metre (7,970 ft) mountain ridge. It is located in the Machupicchu District within Urubamba Province above the Sacred Valley, which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cuzco. The Urubamba River flows past it, cutting through the Cordillera and creating a canyon with a tropical mountain climate.
Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Its three primary structures are the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of how they originally appeared. By 1976, 30% of Machu Picchu had been restored and restoration continues.
Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historic Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide internet poll. [Wikipedia]

If you would like to do it, you could make some adaptions to the two characteritic mountains beside the place.
The are far less tree-populated then now in MSFS and a bit more sharp pointing upward.
I just picked a link to a pioture I found on Google, but it is visible at far more pictures ofcourse. https://www.tapeciarnia.pl/machu_picchu

Yes, we know. At the moment MSFS make vegetation more dense than the expected. We can try to reduce but the best way is that Asobo make correction of this problem in next update.
bstikkel 2 year(s) ago
Okay, in that case it is wise indeed to have a bit of patience. Thanks for the explanation.

Thank you!
qowiboy
oh...a and just a idea to add maybe in future:
MSFSItalia 2 year(s) ago
We will try to make corrections in the next few weeks! Thank you
qowiboy
big work! just a small but effective correction... the huayna picchu mountain height is 2667m ASL, so you could use this altitude for absolut height instead of actual ~2400m... I tried to generate a addon terrain polygon (my addon for your addon) but I get conflict with your small triangle with inaccourate height so I get higher peak with a hole inside 😞
