Travel to one of the seven human-made wonders of the world, Machu Picchu, with Dean as he breaks down his recent trip to Peru. An archaeological treasure, Machu Picchu was built by the Incas around 1450 AD, a full millennium after the fall of the Roman Empire and less than a century before the Spanish conquistadors arrived in Peru.
Re-discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, Machu Picchu quickly became a popular tourist destination, now hosting 1.5 million tourists annually.
Dean talks about his expectations of the trip and how they changed as he arrived at the peak of this mountaintop. From the trains that cut through the cloud forests to the incredible ruins preserved on the mountain, there's plenty to break down in this immersive episode.
