While indigenous peoples knew of the site, Peru’s Spanish conquerors never did—a fact which aided Machu Picchu’s isolation, and preservation, over the centuries. Today Machu Picchu is far from isolated. In fact it’s a must-see for any visitor to Peru and the draw that compels many to travel to that nation. Machu Picchu’s management challenge is preservation of the site while making it accessible to all those who hope to experience an incredible part of Inca history. On his first trip to the site Hiram Bingham walked for six days. Today many choose to follow in his footsteps by hiking to the ruins on the legendary Inca Trail. It’s an experience like no other, but one no longer necessary. Train trips from Cusco take only a few hours.

Rosario this one is gorgeous as the mountains and sky are glorious. Congratulations.

Hi Gail.

Actually I have visited Machu Picchu 3 times, and I always find something new and it never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for your kind words.

Warm Regards,

Hi Tony. What has changed in Machu Picchu over time is the number of people who visit the ruins. It used to be much quieter. But there is no doubt that it is an almost mystical experience!

Rosario, Excellent artistic image. Your photo vision was astute in this iconic place. Well done. I hardly use PN anymore. I, like many, have lost contact with PN friends because of this clumsy website. Take a look at ephotozine.com It is more like the old PN. Larry
