Summary

In part 1 of our series, we look at the Inca Empire, and the cities that would - in time - become 'lost' to the world. We then meet Hiram Bingham III - the man who will one day become the scientific 'discover' of Machu Picchu. We then take him on his first two expeditions to South America, including his documentation of the Choquequirao.
