Jorge, this is a wonderful photographic tour. In your post, I've seen photographs of areas I've never seen in photographs before. You've provided a much-expanded view of the entire area. Thank you, as well, for the narrative that provided even more information about a seemingly familiar location.

Continuing with the Machu Picchu series, I will share other photos of the place. Archeologist Hiram Bingham rediscovered Machu Picchu in 1911. Because it is located in an Amazon forest, the citadel was covered by it. To clean the entire place Hiram hired people from the area. The work was very hard and as always, time and money were limited. So, he decided to burn the place to speed up the work. That fire burned the wooden beams of the houses and the roofs, that is why we only see the stones of the buildings. An interesting thing is to note that the walls are double with mortar in the middle for climate protection. Another curiosity is that the walls of the houses are inclined as well as the doors are trapezoidal to support earthquakes (incredible technology).
Shots one and two are at the beginning of the tour, the others are different shots inside the citadel

Oh to see it one more time! Thanks for posting.

BTW, it's a 13-degree tilt that makes the buildings earthquake proof. That's seen in many of the indigenous structures around the area.

Tremendous angles and unique views along with great technique. Did you use a tripod?
