Picture: Machu Picchu - lost city of the Incas, is South America's top tourist destination, attracting over 450,000 visitors a year. At an altitude of 7,000 feet above sea level, the fact that it lay hidden to all but a few peasants for hundreds of years adds to its mystery and intrigue. It was never discovered by the Spanish or mentioned in their chronicles, and the pre-Colonial cultures of Peru left no written records. Yale professor Hiram Bingham discovered the ruins buried beneath dense undergrowth in 1911.
