Hiram Bingham brought Machu Picchu to the world<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people say that the explorer Hiram Bingham discovered Machu Picchu, but that&#8217;s not true. The locals had already known about Machu Picchu. What Bingham did was bring it to the world\u2019s attention in <strong>1911<\/strong>, after his expedition in which he documented and publicized the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Bingham, locals and some explorers had already visited the Inca site. But it was his work that made it famous worldwide as a major archaeological discovery. <strong>This is just one of many interesting facts about Machu Picchu that continue to amaze visitors today.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"935\" height=\"490\" src=\"https:\/\/perugrandtravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/interesting-facts-about-machu-picchu-hiram-binhgam.webp\" alt=\"interesting facts about machu picchu discoverer of machu picchu hiram bingham\" class=\"wp-image-16665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.perugrandtravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/interesting-facts-about-machu-picchu-hiram-binhgam.webp 935w, https:\/\/www.perugrandtravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/interesting-facts-about-machu-picchu-hiram-binhgam-768x402.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.perugrandtravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/interesting-facts-about-machu-picchu-hiram-binhgam-900x472.webp 900w, https:\/\/www.perugrandtravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/interesting-facts-about-machu-picchu-hiram-binhgam-600x314.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 935px) 100vw, 935px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_Spanish_never_found_it\"><\/span>4. The Spanish never found it<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the Spanish conquered the Inca Empire, they never discovered <strong>Machu Picchu, so it remained untouched. <\/strong>The city stayed hidden for centuries, thanks to its remote and hard-to-access location for Spaniards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_did_it_manage_to_remain_hidden_for_centuries\"><\/span>How did it manage to remain hidden for centuries?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Machu Picchu&#8217;s<strong> strategic location <\/strong>high on a mountain and surrounded by <strong>dense vegetation<\/strong> kept it hidden from the Spanish.
