"What is it that drives so many people to visit, sometimes with great difficulty, this remarkable place? It has an appeal that surely goes beyond the attraction of the usual honey pot. It provides a glimpse of a lost world, hidden from man until its discovery, in 1911, by Hiram Bingham. It is one of the most beautiful sights on earth but, as visitors swarm over the walls and terraces, it is in danger of becoming a victim of its own success. Get there soon, as there are rumors they will have to build a replica before the real Machu Picchu is trampled to death"--From photographer's essay.
