853 days ago, Ed Stafford took the first steps of what would become a record-breaking trek, following the length of the Amazon river as it winds its way across the South American continent. After experiencing countless insect bites, violent run-ins with hostile natives, and his fair-share of folks who doubted he could do it, in [...]
For all of the study that’s been done in the “Lost City” of Machu Picchu — not to mention all of the travelers who have waked the ruins of the ancient citadel — archaeologists are still finding clues about the lives of the Inca who lived here.
A group of Peruvian archaeologists from the National Institute [...]
