MACHU PICCHU - CUSCO

For years the site of Machu Picchu lay forgotten, except by local Indians and settlers, until it was discovered  by  the North American explorer Hiram Bingham, who on July 24 1911 accompanied by a local settler who knew of some ruins, came upon a previously unheard of Inka citadel which was to become the most famous ruin in South American. Bingham’s reconstruction of the inkas past, Machu Picchu  fell into place as  Vilcabamba the site of the last refuge from the Spanish Conquistadors. Not another American expedition surveyed the ruins around Machu Picchu in the 1940 did serious doubts begin to arise over this assignation, and more recently the site of the Inka’s  final stronghold has been shown to be Espiritu Pampa, beyond Quillabamba in the Amazon  jungle.

Paucartambo is in a valley N.E. of Cusco at around 3,000 ms. Inti Raymi takes place just outside Cusco; Easter Week, Corpus Christi and Santoranticuy happen in the city itself. Qoyllur Rit'i and Paucartambo festivals are best visited by making arrangements with a local agency
