EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a group of llamas gracefully stand in front of the awe-inspiring Inca citadel of Machu Picchu in Cusco. Taken on December 2,2014, by Enrique Castro-Mendivil, this image beautifully captures the harmonious coexistence between ancient ruins and nature's majestic creatures. Machu Picchu, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, holds an esteemed position as Peru's top tourist attraction. However, due to safety concerns and the preservation of these historic ruins, the government has limited daily visitors to a mere 2,500 individuals. This restriction ensures that Machu Picchu remains intact for future generations to marvel at its grandeur. The llamas featured in this photograph add an enchanting touch to the already breathtaking landscape. With their elegant postures against a backdrop of stone structures and rolling clouds overhead, they seem almost like guardians of this ancient civilization. This image showcases not only the remarkable architectural achievements of past civilizations but also highlights the importance of preserving our natural heritage. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on these magnificent animals and their surroundings—untouched by human interference. Enrique Castro-Mendivil's skillful composition invites viewers into a world where history meets wildlife amidst stunning mountainous terrain. It serves as a reminder that we must cherish and protect such treasures from both our past and present for years to come.
