"Lost City of the Incas"

"In this photo provided by Andina Agency, a panoramic view of the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu in Cuzco, Peru, Thursday, July 7, 2011. As the country prepares to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the rediscovery of the "Lost City of the Incas" on Thursday, archaeologists are warning that a heavy flow of visitors and poor administration are threatening one of the wonders of the world. The Incas built Machu Picchu atop an Andean peak with a breathtaking view across the inhospitable abysses that surround it. Some experts believe it was a refuge for one or more Inca rulers, others that it was a religious sanctuary."
