At the end of the movie Life After Beth (2014), Zach mentioned "Machu Picchu", but I did not understand the meaning. What did he say and why?



Best Answer

Yes, he meant the actual place. Zach wanted to get somewhere far away and this is the most remote place he could think of. It's also an amusing line because he's being desperate and naive:

I think we need to get far away from here where the zombies can't get to us. [...] Machu Picchu. It's remote and safe. Look, I've got a map. I think if we take side streets and sidewalks...

He probably got the idea earlier in the film: when he finds out that Beth is alive, they watch TV together with her parents and the show is about Machu Picchu.
