Quotes by Hiram Bingham (?)

“1.Few romances can ever surpass that of the granite citadel on top of the beetling precipices of Machu Picchu, the crown of Inca Land.”

2The ruins of Machu Picchu are perched on top of a steep ridge in the most inaccessible corner of the most inaccessible section of the central Andes. No part of the highlands of Peru has been better defended by natural bulwarks—a stupendous canyon whose rim is more than a mile above the river, whose rock is granite, and whose precipices are frequently a thousand feet sheer.”

“The whole world around us has the disease which we've feared for so long. We can only pray that the natural goodness of men will fight off the plague before it spreads too far.”
