The historic sanctuary of Machu Picchu, one of the seven wonders of the modern world, will be 110-years-old on July 24, 2021, when Yale University professor Hiram Bingham rediscovers it and makes the existence of this city known to the world of the Empire of the Incas, as in July 1902 the Peruvian Agustín Lizárraga had arrived in that area of the Peruvian jungle in the company of other locals.
On July 7, 2007, Machu Picchu was declared as one of the seven modern wonders in the world and one of the most important archaeological remains in South America.
