Explorers rediscover Inca city
An Anglo-American team of explorers has found Inca ruins lost for centuries in the Peruvian jungles despite being within sight of the key religious center at Machu Picchu. Using infrared aerial photography to penetrate the forest canopy, the team led by Briton Hugh Thomson and American Gary Zeigler located the ruins at Llactapata, 50 miles northwest of the ancient Inca capital Cusco.

“THIS IS a very important discovery. It is very close to Machu Picchu and aligned with it. This adds significantly to our knowledge about Machu Picchu,” Thomson told Reuters by telephone on Thursday. “Llactapata adds to its significance.”
