Seems that “Pichhu” means “peak”.
That in itself would make me question the “town” name.
Granted it’s IDed by what “peak” it’s near, but maybe someone could’ve come up with a non-peak name.
As it is, “Huayna” looks worse than “Machu”, and probably sounds worse, too!

I used to think it was called Macho Grande.
I’m still not over it.

If no one has complained about the name for 100 years, is there really a problem?
To: Red Badger
I heard they got the name ‘Machu Picchu’ when they asked a local guide the name of the place and just as he was staring to answer, he sneezed. The rest is history.

Probably a good thing Bingham didn't call it Squaw Mountain or Niggardly Peak, or we'd be tearing down statues and rewriting history (one more time). For whatever it's worth, the original "Macho Pischo" sounds fine to me...

One semi-serious comment in the whole batch. This is why history is being lost. There is a significant difference in this.
Machu Picchu means Old Peak.
Huayna Picchu means Young Peak.

It’s funny where names come from sometimes. Years ago an automanufacturer in japan got everyone together and told them “guys, we are under the gun to name the car, and I really need your help. I will need a name by this evening if the car is to succeed,
