The well-known explorer from the US, Hiram Bingham, actually thought that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/machu-picchu-tours\/\">Machu Picchu <\/a><\/strong>was Vilcabamba when he first discovered it in 1911. It was known as the lost city of the Incas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final\ngovernors lived in Vilcamabma between the years 1536 to 1573. Luckily for them,\nthe place was inaccessible to the Spaniards due to it being hidden in the\njungle. Here the site stayed in the shadows until 1964 when it was discovered\nby another US explorer know as Gene Savoy. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/what-is-vilcabamba-yuraq-rumi-cusco.jpg\" alt=\"Vilcabamba, Yuraq Rumi, Cusco\" class=\"wp-image-3298\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by: Municipalidad Distrital de Vilcabamba<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-mysteries-of-vilcabamba\">What Are the Mysteries of Vilcabamba?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the\nsite being a more recent discovery, there are many things we still need to\nuncover and learn about the area.
