This print takes us back in time to the year 1911 when Hiram Bingham, under the supervision of the Yale Peruvian Expedition, embarked on a remarkable journey to uncover the hidden secrets of Machu Picchu. After six weeks of arduous vegetation clearing, this stunning image captures the ruins of the Inca city emerging from its lush green surroundings. The terraces of the upper city are now exposed, revealing an architectural marvel that showcases the ingenuity and advanced engineering skills of the Incas. Nestled amidst towering mountains in Peru's Andes region, Machu Picchu stands as a testament to an ancient civilization that thrived centuries ago.
