Americans look amazed, Japanese with their nervous smile do not stop taking pictures, Europeans look half defiantly, half irreverently at the scene. The Tower of Babel is encapsulated in a small vehicle embedded on a hillside between the Andes and the Amazon. Little by little there appear huge cliffs that challenge all dimensions. The Vilcamba mountain chain surrounds us with snow topped peaks reaching six thousand meters above sea level that bear the names of Salkantay, Humantay and others. Some of the peaks touch the clouds.
Vegetation is intense.
The bus stops at an esplanade. Everything is green and there are large cliffs at our feet. It is hot and the sun begins to burn. We still cannot see the ruins and the huge steep rock whose image has gone around the world. The Eternal City Try to imagine the scene.
