"For the variety of its charms and the power of its spell, I do not know another place in the world that compares to it," is what Hiram Bingham, the American explorer who rediscovered the citadel of Machu Picchu in 1911, said. Surrounded by forests in the province of Urubamba (Cusco), has an area of more than 30 thousand hectares, where it is possible to find a varied flora and fauna, as well as wooded areas, steep mountains and snow-capped peaks. the Historic Sanctuary is among the greatest artistic, architectural and land use achievements anywhere and the most significant tangible legacy of the Inca civilization .
