couldn't agree more, there are few people like Palin, that man has a heart of gold.
Truly one of the great wonders of the world. It is a "must" visit for everyone who loves to travel. Thanks Michael and thanks to the BBC for sharing with us!
FOR THAT AND A THOUSAND MORE REASONS... WE LOVE MICHAEL PALIN ❤❤❤❤GREETINGS FROM LIMA
Went here in 2016 -- it's every bit as incredible as it looks.
thank you bbc for beeing that openminded to share that production on that site.
I definitely have to visit Machu Picchu before I die. I don't know when and I don't now how but I will get there someday. It's going to be surreal and so awesome!
i can't believe I am half peruvian and have not been here! It is definitely on my too do list!! absolutely gorgeous!!!
beautiful country with lovely people, delicious food and amazing culture... thank you Peru!!
Even in 2010 Machu Picchu is indeed a special place in the world that raises more questions than it provides answers...
I'll be here next month. Can't wait!
Mil gracias MICHAEL PALIN por vicitar la velleza de MACHU PICCHU, es que Ud . en verdad sabe y conoce de las maravillas del mundo. Saludo y bendiciones un abraso fraterno de jorgesanchaman desde Lima Peru.
que nostalgia!!!!!
que deseos de volver a mi tierra.....
one of the most magical places on earth!!!
Beautiful place, it's been my dream to see these ruins surrounded by a cloud forest (which is an amazing, descriptive name). It's booked for my 30th. I hope to stand where Michael stood so many years before and look out on one of the most amazing sites in the world.
I'd love to visit Machu Picchu. So many places I want to visit before I die.
This place is pure MAGIC :)
There is a lot more to Peru than Machu Picchu :-) Its great to visit it, and it is so impressive to see the skill that was used in carving the stone and even getting all that stone to the top... but I saw people that had travelled half way across the world just to go to Machu Picchu and never spent any time finding out about Peru which is an amazing vibrant country. Try visiting Arequipa too! Visit Chavin de Huanta birthplace of Andean civilisation or north to Chan Chan or the Señor de Sipán
I really love to visit Machu Picchu.
Of course it is, but you need to book a long time in advance. If you want to go, I would recommend the Lares Trek over the Inca trail. It's extremely beautiful, you go through remote villages and end up in Lares, which has hot springs you can swim in. Then you take a train to Aguas Calientes, a nice town below Machu Picchu where there is a bus service that goes up and down the mountain every 15 minutes.
I really liked the footage in the beginning of the train ride up to Aguas Caliente. Machu Picchu is really impressive, but there are other ruins near Cusco that are equally impressive, in my opinion.
I'm going back there next year with my girlfriend. It'd be my 4th time there and my girlfriend's first time. Have any of you who had the chance to tour Machu Picchu drink the water that flows through the still-operational plumbing/water system? I remember filling up my empty water bottle with some of it last time I was there and made my headache go away. Maybe it was just a coincidence but hell, it tasted damn good hahah. The Temple Of The Moon is also a breathtaking place to see.
@mandolis We native Peruvians knew of the existence of Machu Picchu. It was not money that stopped us clearing the place from wild plants, etc. We did not want to disturb the 'past' and the historical meaning of the 'place'. We respect our ancestors, their lives, their experiences and their believes our believes!
It must be a breathtaking experience to gaze down on it.
OMG...! Machu Picchu is fantastic...!
Such an awesome place. Need to bring up that Hiram Bingham didn't stumble on it though, he was led their by local farmer, Melchor Arteaga. The locals had long known about it, so it's a stretch to say that Hiram Bingham discovered Machu Picchu. He just made the rest of the world aware of it.
Super, beautiful, magical place. I want to go there one day.
Lo maximo en imperios ,imponente esta cultura, mistica mis ansestros,visita hermanos del mundo macchu picchu. un saludo caluroso de jorgesanchaman- Peru
...
I've always marveled at the practice of restoring ruins but still keeping them in a state of ruin for tourism purposes.
Tim the enchanter approaches
Beautiful place!!!
That's rich!!!
I see this is beautiful view but one thing I really need to read CC (closed caption) because I am deaf as helpless. Can you please put CC on TH-cam? Thank.
you need at least a video with more than 10000 viewers!
Bad quality,but is a wonderful landscape.
Look this beautiful wall at 1:40
Congratulations!
i was in machu picchu and i didn't see ruins ...machu picchu is a intac city .except for the paja ceelings of the rooms .but everything is intact as was in 1500 ac..even the water is flowing up from the river on the bottom of the mountain ,it's wonderfull.
Do you get to Machu Picchu from the bottom of the mountain or from the top?????
@elmurguista - i support your comments back @ 2011, however, there is no necessity to offend other countries. etc.
I am from Chile, living in Australia for many years now. I have do not hate other latino countries for WHATEVER the reason our country's past may have.
I for one, believe that Peru is beautiful, hoping one day soon I will get to visit.
Hatred for others only darken our soul. We are the new generation that should try to amend what our ancestors did... we should love one another
Amazing scenery!
I'll be there in ten months!!! YEAH!
Good on ya!! its my dream to one day visit Peru and Machu Piccu!!
macchu pichu means "old mountain", in the ancient language no one knows why the city was built there or how, the stones were made so perfectly so that they can fit without a gap left. its fucking amazing im proud to be peruvian.
hey can you show me how to import an commercial into youtube to earn some money?
@RRRuser The word Inca means King in Quechua. Do not know exactly how we native Peruvians were called during the Incas Empire. We are 'Chola/Cholo' and love to be called cholita/cholito. Regarding the large stones and how they were join together, well that is a 'secret' that only true native Peruvians -as my maternal grandmother- know. Thank you for your interest in Peruvian Culture! By the way, I was born in Cuzco & I have lived in UK for over 20 years.
awesome.
Before I die , I would go to this place. Is it ok ? or is it secured/private for only some people
sorry for my english ^_^(I'm a Filipino).
Proud Peruviannn! viva Peruuuu whoo
The footage was for a Documentary so I guess the place was closed for such occasion, just like they do the majority of times not just as shown here in Peru but everywhere else the media goes.
Does any one know how to spell the term he used to describe the ceremonial stone that was used to measure the position of the Sun? It seems like i read that it vibrates!
Perú Wonderful CountryKnown for its beauty and richness, Iwill be ther soon.
thx for the comment but i wont make parapente in macchu picchu thats not the proporsal for that voyage, we have (im from spain) a lot of mountains here in spain...
if i will go to peru its to see the ruins of macchu picchu!
@mandolis Yes, Hiram Bingham totally did not discover Machu Picchu. It was a native who showed Bingham where it was. Agreed.
if I could handle heat & humidity, I would camp in those ruins for at least a week. Wow!
Yes,that is true.
However,still good place for some big persons with one of the best landscape views on the planet.
Oh,I'm learning english now,so sorry for any mistakes.
Good bay.
We agree...what does 'discovery' mean anyway ?
When was Michael Palin (!) in Peru???
I'm visiting Peru this weekend.
how did you get on with altitude sickness??
that is so cool
nio hay duda q machupicchu y el cuzco son de otras esferas es otro cantar una gran ciudadela muy admirable por todos eh
en tres dias estaré ahi!!! que emoción :D
@smith0426 Simply Amazing.. How these pre historic people with no written language were able to accomplish such a task. It boggles the mind. In the highlands of Bolivia there is another site called Puma Punku, that no expert, DR, Scientist etc. can tell me that architecture was carved by hand. Noway, nohow. 1st off U need diamond tip tools/ machines to cut Diorite. Even today those structures cant be copied.
@mandolis He made public the existence of the Quechua citadel of Machu Picchu in 1911 with the guidance of local Indigenous farmers. as said by wikipedia. :) He isn't known as discovering it, but revealing it to the world.
@yeahdude7 Same here. Someday I'm going to visit Machu Picchu!
I understant the frustration from the native point of view but the "discovery" really means that they discovered the find for thier culture.
Would it be possible to live at machu picchu?
Is it right that Machu Picchu is way older than Inkas. May be Lemurians build it to avoid Flud.
I don't know what Inca means, but Tinku is a Hindi name. Mayan is also Hindi, it means black god. It is hard not to notice these ancients people look a lot like South Indians. Also Machu Picchu is most definetly a Hindi sounding term.
@PerforminGorman - IntiHuatana - The ceremonial stone.
I LIKE IT & I WISH IF I COULD LIVE THERE :")
行ってみたい！
welcome
i'd like to visit it...viva peru!:D
@ukperulimenos No, Incas like the Mayas were organized big cultures... Apaches were more like collectors and hunters. Incas had a king (the Inca) who was the supremed ruler. They conquered other towns earning a great territory that extended from Ecuador to Chile. They had an structured social class and made sculptures of gold dedicated to their deities
Thank god for this i thought i had to put up with nat geo a minute ago.
Brother, I'm an Anarchist and my blood is Guatemalan but even I know when someone is just being whinny, no he didn't say anything wrong or anything that should make you think they are looking "down upon us"
Great place~-*
@BVargas78 I agree, once the people who worked there/lived food was gone, they had to leave
dit is vaag
fijn voor je als je hier heen ga
wow!
@cymrutroll ok fist of all, machu picchu was abandoned. and second the best places were destroyed. Spaniards said they were impressed by the clean roads and clean structures of Tenochtitlan. They would send people everyday to clean the roads and the structures completely. The island was mostly man made.
i wonder if Tim the Enchanter hangs around up there
what the problem is no one single thing discovered was a cultural event since the city was always there
Augurioantonio Gracias por tu comentario por que tu , TU no solamente ves las cosas negativas pero no has podido ver el lado positivo, MIsticismo, Religioso, Cultural,Dogmatico, Proeza, Vicion , Panoramico,Codigo, y mucho mas de mis ancestros saludos y bendiciones para ti desde Lima Peru de jorgasanchaman.
Wow..wish they got a better guide! This guy didn't know anything about the place. There are so many astounding facts about this place that warrant even a slight mention, ah well, pretty pictures though.
@scooterNJ I doubt he was the only person on earth with "money" if a Peruvian had exposed it, not discovered because like someone else said in the comments the natives knew of its existance all along, to the world they would of left it intact. The whole thing with the Spaniards is completely different, theres no way you can compare the two. Also I'm pretty sure Yale returned everything, don't quote me on that though.
oh no puedo creerlo aunque sea una de los monty python visito mi pais que alegria
I know why it was deserted. It must be that the city was reliant on food imported from other parts of the empire. When the empire fell the city could no longer support itself and was abandoned. And that as they say is that.
We can all be glad the Spanish did not find this wonder. At least, however it ended, it was not at the end of a sword.
@Magyaraucano Estoy de acuerdo con Ud.
Just the Conquistadors that need worrying about really. I'm sure there's many modern Spaniards who would love to see this.
Did you know that July 2011 is the 100 year anniversary for the scientific discovery of Machu Picchu?
@leticiaUXS truly amazing place !
although it is a lot of money to go there because you have to take trains to go up into the mountains and dont forget about hotels and other stuff
I`f you go there touch the rock walls with your eyes closed and feel the energy. You won`t believe it.
hiram bingham did not discover machupicchu, a native peruvian told him where was machupicchu.Every native from there new that machupicchu existed they just did not have money to do all the things that bingham did
Bingaham was just a colonial adventurer who did not approach locals as equals, but as barbarians. Returning to the US (as just another conqurer) from a faraway land... This kind of "exploaration" was popular amongst "scientists" from the colonial powers up until the IWW at least...
@supahswag great minds my friend. I wonder what Michael Palin was thinking about this man with the strange accent.
why'd they destroy all of the solar marking stones?
Hola Kocia,
Si, esta no McDonalds in Machu Picchu, pero tienes McDonalds in Cusco, ja,ja! Cannot escape :(
I remember when he was in monty python!
hes got so much older
vengan a machu picchu patrimonio de la humanidad
Where are the hordes of the people?
