On its 39th anniversary, the
Inca citadel of Machu Picchu —located in
Peru's southern Cusco region— continues drawing the attention of world tourism, which turned it into
one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007. As is known, Forbes —the prestigious international business and finance magazine— included it in a select list of
