In 1911, a young Peruvian boy led an American explorer and Yale historian named Hiram Bingham into the ancient Incan citadel of Machu Picchu.
Bingham made Machu Picchu famous, and his dispatches from the jungle.
Tall, handsome, and sure of his destiny, Bingham believed that Machu Picchu was the Incas\' final refuge, where they fled the Spanish Conquistadors.
Hidden amidst the breathtaking heights of the Andes, this settlement of temples, tombs and palaces was the Incas\' greatest achievement.
