EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking view of the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu in Cuzco. Taken in November 2003, it captures the essence and grandeur of this ancient wonder. The image transports us to a time when the Incan empire thrived, symbolized by the mountain settlement that stands proudly on top of lush green hills. In July 2007, an esteemed competition declared seven modern-day Wonders of the World, and among them were some iconic landmarks. The Great Wall of China, Petra in Jordan, and Brazil's statue of Christ the Redeemer were chosen alongside Peru's Machu Picchu as testaments to human ingenuity and architectural marvels. Machu Picchu itself holds a special place among these wonders. Its mystical aura draws visitors from all corners of the globe who seek to unravel its secrets while being mesmerized by its beauty. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is not just a collection of ruins; it represents an entire civilization that once flourished amidst these mountains. Other remarkable wonders included Mexico's Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza, Italy's Colosseum in Rome, and India's Taj Mahal – each with their own unique stories etched into history. Through this Reuters Images photograph captured by Pilar Olivares, we are reminded once again why Machu Picchu continues to captivate our imagination centuries later – standing tall as one of humanity's greatest achievements.
