"In the variety of its charms and the power of its spell, I know of no place in the world which can compare with it. Not only has it great snow peaks looming above the clouds more than two miles overhead, gigantic precipices of many-colored granite rising sheer for thousands of feet above the foaming, glistening, roaring rapids; it has also, in striking contrast, orchids and tree ferns, the delectable beauty of luxurious vegetation, and the mysterious witchery of the jungle.".
These were the first words spoken by Hiram Bingham on the day he discovered Machu Picchu, on July 24th 1911.
It is a must to visit the Inca archaeological site of one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World at least once in a lifetime, to experience unique emotions and admire the beauties of this Unesco Heritage expertly described by Hiram Bingham.
