“I had entered the marvellous canyon of the Urubamba below the INCA FORTRESS. Here the river escapes from the cold plateau by tearing its way through gigantic mountains of granite. The road runs through a land of matchless charm. It has the majestic grandeur of the Canadian Rockies.” Above all, there is the fascination of finding here and there under swaying vines or perched on top of a beetling crag, the rugged masonry of a bygone race and of trying to understand the bewildering romance of the ancient builders who, ages ago, sought refuge in a region which appears to have been expressly designed by nature as a sanctuary for the oppressed, a place where they might fearlessly and patiently give expression to their passion for walls of enduring beauty.” Hiram Bingham - THE LOST CITY OF THE INCAS.
