This link is in Spanish, but tells about the upcoming celebrations in Peru about the re-discovery in 1911 of the beautiful ruins of Machu Picchu, truly one of the wonders of the world:

Hey, it was on the train from Cuzco to Machu Picchu (1981) where I met the girl who later became my wife and mother to our daughter...
I was going to take that train in 1986, but I was short of cash. El Sindero Luminoso blew it up and killed about 60 people, 40 of them American tourists.
