Hiram Bingham III, an explorer, brought the remains of Machu Picchu to public attention by naming his account of the expedition The Lost City of the Incas. The site, however, was never actually "forgotten." Many people in the area were aware of its presence. In reality, Melchor Arteaga, a local innkeeper, led Bingham to the location. Furthermore, when Bingham arrived in 1911, there were still Quechua people tending the terraces.
