Sharing a View With the Inca
Photograph by Gordon Wiltsie
Photographic assistant Ben Wiltsie wakes with the day's first light to a surreal scene. From atop Cerro Victoria in southern Peru's Vilcabamba Range, a river of morning mist seems to fill the deep and treacherous chasms that lie below 20,000-foot (6,000-meter) peaks. For decades in the 16th century the Inca used this nearly impassable landscape as a refuge from Spanish forces intent on conquering their empire.
