Hidden on a remote mountain ridge between the Andes and the Amazon, Machu Picchu was revealed to the world in 1911 by American explorer Hiram Bingham. Nearly a century later, the Inca citadel lures travelers from all over the world. They come for many reasons: to witness one of the earth’s most extraordinary archeological treasures, to connect with sacred energy, and to explore a majestic panorama of unparalleled natural beauty which is a habitat for countless flora and fauna species.
This enigmatic 14th-century city, the most familiar symbol of the Inca empire, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the new Wonders of the World. It stands as a powerful tribute to the legacy of the Children of the Sun, and a tangible symbol of our Peruvian pride.
