Description
Machu Picchu in Peru.
I think one of the most memorable things to do in life is to walk amongst the ruins at Machu Picchu as the sun rises over a new day. I arrived at about five in the morning before it starts to not only get hot but also before it fills up with visitors and I was able to be more or less alone here. The sense of stillness and serenity feels almost unique to this very special place.
The Incas built Machu Picchu around 1450, but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. It was brought to the attention of the outside world by Hiram Bingham in 1911.
