Machu Picchu 马丘比丘
The ancient city of Machu Picchu lies at the top of the Inca Trail, which has become known as the “hike of death”.
Unfortunately, that’s because it has claimed lives. Last January American tourist Rachel Gian, 26, died after falling into a ravine near the popular tourist spot. It follows the death of 73-year-old Werner Grimpen along the Inca Trail after a section of rocks came loose.
古城马丘比丘在印加古道最高处。印加古道被称为是“死亡路线”。不幸的是,这是因为它真的夺去过生命。一月,美国游客蕾切尔•吉恩在游客众多的景点附近跌入山涧。随后是73岁的维尔纳•格林盆在印加古道上因山石松动而死亡。
While there’s no suggestion they were taking photos when they fell, Machu Picchu guides frequently warn people that tourists have plummeted to their deaths — or been severely injured — while trying to take the perfect snap.
虽然没有证据显示意外发生时他们二人正在拍照,马丘比丘的导游经常警告游客曾有许多人因试图拍出完美纪念照而死亡或受重伤。
