« In 1911 Hiram Bingham went to Peru looking for Vilcabamba, the last Inca city to fall to the Spanish. Instead he found a set of overgrown ruins on a hilltop. The locals called it “Machu picchu” meaning “old mountain”. This is the first picture ever taken, before the brush was burned away.[1601×1201]
