Renata Flores Rivera, a 14 year-old Peruvian has become a social media sensation for her covers of well-known songs in the Quechua language. The video of her version of “The Way You Make Me Feel”, by the late Michael Jackson, was filmed at the Inca ruins of Vilcashuamán in Ayacucho, Peru and has been viewed more than half a million times on YouTube.

With seven million speakers, Quechua is the second-most spoken language in the Americas. In Peru it is considered an official language along with Spanish even though only about 19% of the population speaks Quechua.

Renata’s mother, Patricia Rivera, works for the Asociación Cultural Surca(Surca Cultural Association), a program that aims to teach adolescents from Ayacucho about drug prevention and the Andean region’s ancestral language. Renata was part of their initiative. Thanks to her mother, “the youth also speak Quechua.”

(From Wikipedia)  Machu Picchu (in hispanicized spelling, Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmatʃu ˈpiktʃu]) or Machu Pikchu (Quechua machu old, old person, pikchu peak; mountain or prominence with a broad base which ends in sharp peaks,^[1] “old peak” 2,430 metres (7,970 ft) above sea level.^[2][3] It is located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Machupicchu District in Peru.^[4] It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Sacred Valley which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cuzco and through which the Urubamba River flows. Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472).

….Machu Picchu has become the largest tourist attraction in South America.  It is located on the northeast corner of the area designated with a 5 found on the map below.  (Pink area designates Quechua language prominence in an area.)

Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of what the structures originally looked like.^[5] By 1976, thirty percent of Machu Picchu had been restored.^[5]The restoration work continues to this day.^[6]
