Lost City of the Incas
With Peru pushing for Machu Picchu to be nominated as another wonder of the world, it raises more interest in this amazing civilization which parallels the Indus Valley Civilization in terms of growth and adaptability.
After re-watching the Motorcycle Diaries, really makes you feel that this is one of those places where you can truly feel the power of an early civilization, and perceive centuries of development that have gone into making our planet what it is. Conversely, its surprising how a few brick walls help you understand the vagaries of our needs, and the wastefulness that technology has preached to usher in a new techno-millennium.
A civilization so distinguished. that time mercilessly extinguished.

I will never get over the cuteness of 'Machu Pichhu'.

Never.

(Well, it's better than Bangaluru.)
