Machu Picchu: Peru
Here's how the story goes: One hundred years ago, when Hiram Bingham stumbled across the Lost City of the Incas, he picked himself up, jotted down his find in his notebook and kept on going. It's hard to believe that Bingham could miss a trick. The intrepid explorer was on an expedition from the US to find a fabled Inca city high in the Andes called Vilcabamba. He was successful. But it was only when he returned home and reported his findings, that he realised the importance of his first discovery.
