Architect Ramiro Salas Bravo, former Vice Minister of Tourism of Peru, explores the details of the sacred city of Machu Picchu with a sensitive, photographic, and careful eye. The result is a unique portrait of the archaeological monument, its nature, and its constructions, but above all the sensations evoked by this wonder of the world in those who have had the pleasure of visiting it and touring its landscapes through descriptions, reflections and 197 unpublished photographs that the author has collected throughout his life. In addition, it has a chapter dedicated to the work of the great photographer Martín Chambi.
