Adding depth to the experience, this remarkable ancient citadel is nestled midway up the Andes Plateau, cradled within the Amazon rainforest and perched above the Urubamba River. Abandoned, likely due to a smallpox outbreak, the city remained concealed from the world for over three centuries following the Spanish conquest of the Incan Empire. It was the American explorer Hiram Bingham who rediscovered the ‘lost’ city in 1911, unveiling it once again to the world.
