The two flinty syllables strike at the imagination like the sudden hard beat of an Andean drum. Cities of gold; sun worship; virgin sacrifice. The stuff of legend. Legends that for the most part remain hidden in the impenetrable no-man’s land of Peru’s high country.

For the better part of 400 years people have searched the deep canyons & towering ice peaks of these mist-covered cloud forests trying to locate the lost cities of the Inca. They were all after one thing; gold.

Any gold would do but there was one thing desired above all others, the Great Golden Disc of the Sun. The most sacred of all Inca relics. The Inca Holy Grail. It is in search of this Holy Grail that David Adams goes on his journey to Puncuyoc, sacred Sister City of Machu Picchu; the city sought but never found by Hiram Bingham.

    I absolutely loved my time in Peru. This documentary pulled at my heart and I really want to go back. The people are amazing. Generous and warm. I learned so much about Pacha Mama and the Incan traditions. I feel like I left part of myself in Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu and Cusco. I loved Cusco.
  • @justinwmusic
    I lived very similar adventures while living in Cusco for 9 months and traveling to regularly to different ruins and isolated mountain communities. It's another world. Beautifully frozen in time.
  • @stevekroll7259
    Machu Picchu and Peru are amazing sites to experience, go if you can. I loved it in Peru.
  • @lucianobenzaquen5944
    Peru is probably the most historic country in South America, the culture of ancient Peru is impressive! I dream of meeting it one day, the most beautiful and attractive country in South America in my opinion. Blessings.
  • @radicafantasy6887
    so interesting how this guys does his show, he doesn't just look at the past and how they used to live, he highlights and shows how the people are today and compares and contrast...it's kinda cool, you get two specials in one.
  • @angelobugini6771
    Peru's Lost City Of Gold is definitely an astonishing documentary! I truly did appreciate it so much. Thanks a lot for sharing! Keep it up!
  • @franciscopauletvelez6670
    Peru is the most enigmatic country in Latin America, the most incredible country in the region.
  • @susanryton4889
    After being more educated on indigenous American civilisations and their rich history this documentary is excellent to watch. God bless K on mum’s account
  • @williambrady1043
    A very well done video. Thank you. I've been to Peru 11 times and one thing is certain...the religious sites are NEVER forgotten so that site was not a temple. Your excellent video took a tremendous amount of work.
  • @nicholassweazey987
    this video is beyond awesome in how the Inca's were able to hide in a landscape where you can easily get lost, if not for the guides. thank you for sharing this
  • @pamelahomeyer748

    THANK YOU FOR SHARING DAVID ESPEJO
    SIMPLY AMAZING HOW MUCH EFFORT HAD TO HAVE BEEN EXERTED TO CONSTRUCT SUCH STRUCTURES SO DISTANT & SO HIGH INTO THE CLOUDS
  • @wok138
    Imagining this place in its glory days, what a breathtaking place it would be. Not so much about the virgin sacrifice thing, but the place tho..
  • @gaslitworldf.melissab2897
    Amazing. We will be searching out history til the end of time. I'm so glad we now appreciate how the past impacts us today. The locals, despite the heat, are wearing long ponchos and their arms are fully covered. Always see what the locals do for safety. Sometimes, DEET is not allowed, so you need to know before you go. I wouldn't go anywhere that it is not permitted. I take sugar in my tea, so insects love me. Skip ALL sugar for a few months before you travel and you'll be less appetizing to bugs. I've tested it.

    Intriguingly thrilling work from David Adams im gripped by his journeys and fascinated with the courage/compassion extended by all involved. Priceless and delicious. xx
