Inca trail, Palm plants and stone thatch hut above the Machu Picchu with Huayna Picchu Mountain in the background tourists grouped together. Overcast changeable weather, shadow and light over the Ancient jungle clearing in Peru. Hiram Bingham discovered the hidden sight which is now called the one of the new seven wonders of the world. A mystical place carved out of the jungle using dry stone walls. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a sacred religious site, featuring the Gran Caverna and the Temple of the Moon built by emperor Pachacuti
