For centuries, Peru was home to highly developed civilizations of the Andes. Here, the Inca kings, worshipping the sun, ruled a huge empire that stretched for more than three thousand kilometers at the foot of the mountains of South America. In 1532 it was destroyed by the Spanish. Fleeing from their crumbling world, the upper class of the Incas found shelter in the hidden jungle of inaccessible mountain ranges. Here, in the last city of the Incas, Vilcabamba, they tried to preserve their traditions. Going in search of Vilcabamba in 1911, a young scientist Hiram Bingham made one of the greatest discoveries of the twentieth century: he discovered the majestic ruins of Machu Picchu, which told the world about the former glory of the Inca civilization.
