During a visit to Peru, Rajo Laurel blogged about his last day in Lima Rajo’s Blog Enjoy!
First accounts of the existence of Machu Picchu, as described in the revised edition of John Hemming’s book, “Monuments of the Incas” (2010 Thames & Hudson), date as far back as 1875 in a book by travel writer Charles Wiener. He said that local people spoke to him of “other towns of Huaina Pitcho and Matcho Piccho towards the east.”
Aracari’s very own Marisol Mosquera was quoted in today’s Financial Times, found at the following link. The article speaks about how Peru coped when its greatest attraction was forced to close for a period exceeding 2 months! Thankfully, Machu Picchu is now open for business and as breathtaking as ever.
