The most beautiful sight in the life of a traveler

In the life of any traveler, there are moments of audiovisual perception, which are so deeply embedded in the memory that even after years (and maybe decades), we easily recall them to the smallest detail. Among the many places on the planet that I saw, there are not so many truly iconic points, maybe even no more than fingers on my hands ...

The feeling of contact with one of the most mysterious chapters in world history, in which there is more speculation and speculation than facts. Stories of the great Incas. This is Machu Picchu, Peru. He was discovered by an American researcher from Yale University, Professor Hyrum Bingham on July 24, 1911. I saw this place twice, but the power of emotions is the same as the first time.

I can imagine how Hyrum Bingham felt, pushing the thickets of the jungle and first seeing this amazing city ... And, yes, hundreds of other tourists clicking selfies, commercial attacks and travel stamps do not bother me ... A place where history really comes to life!

Surely you have such significant places, or maybe they are only in memory, even without a photograph ...

I already told you how to arrive in Machu Picchu in a roundabout way by minibus, and then at night on foot and on sleepers ... This time I arrived on a tourist train operated by one of the two railway companies - Inca Rail. I’ll tell you about the railway line in Machu Picchu in a separate report, and today just a few photos ... After all, summer is coming to South America, it's time to plan your Latin American adventure!
