Pic of the week: Peru

ET-Travel reader Arvind Kamath mentions of his trip to Peru in South America: Machu Pichhu, the name resonates with mystery, intrigue and of course one of the new Seven Wonders of the modern world.

In the native quechua language it means ‘old mountain’. For me, it was the journey of a lifetime and a dream travel destination that was long awaited. Machu Picchu is today the top tourist destination in South America attracting global tourists.

However, few Indian tourists visit this place perhaps due to the long distance involved or lack of awareness. But thanks to the super hit film Robot, in which Rajnikanth shakes a leg with Aishwarya Rai on top of Machu Pichhu, Indians have started to realise the potential of this great archeological site.
