Quotes
[edit]- Sprawled across a ridge that once protected the inhabitants from unwanted visitors, surrounded by cliffs shrouded in mist, rise the ruins of a forgotten Inca city that survived the Spanish conquistadors. Looking down from above at the Urubamba River, a narrow strip flowing somewhere far below, for a moment you feel a touch of eternity, but a second later, the hubbub of tourists brings you back from the vanished Inca Empire to the reality of our days.
