The discovery of Machu Picchu
The Andes in Peru. The sight of these mountains alone is enough to take your breath away. But in 1911 the Hawaiian Hiram Bingham discovered something even more spectacular on one of their peaks than anything he had seen before: the ruins of Machu Picchu, since then known as the lost city of the Incas. To this day, this Inca site is surrounded by many mysteries; it is still not fully developed historically and archaeologically. But when Machu Picchu was discovered by Hiram Bingham III in 1911, it was an even more mysterious find. Nobody could have guessed that the ruins, which were overgrown at that time, would become one of the most famous attractions in Peru and finally one of the new seven wonders of the world.
