stunning!
I had hoped to hike to Machu Picchu about ten years back but never made it.

I dont know if I could take the hike now.

Wonder how many captive workers died while building it.

My grandfather was a friend of Hiram Bingham.

He was the doctor for Hiram's Expedition to Machu Picchu in 1915.

We have some incredible photos that he took.
