The Inca-built "Stair of Death" leads to the summit of Huayna Picchu, towering over 8,850 feet (2,700 meters) in Peru.
Created 600 years ago, these precarious stone steps allow access to the top, where the Incas constructed temples and terraces.
The sheer vertical climb is a testament to their architectural ingenuity and resilience, as they transformed the rugged landscape into functional spaces while connecting the sacred site to the sky.
