Machu Picchu, night lighting for 100th anniversary

Machu Picchu, light, color and music: a unique spectacle

Machu Picchu is an impressive architectural work, which is always admired in broad daylight to enjoy the spectacle of lights and shadows, contrasts and shapes of carved stone and placed with skill and aesthetic criteria in multiple spaces. During the day you can distinguish the bright green of the wild vegetation; gray, ocher, dark green hues of the stones; Rainbow multicolor of flowers and birds found there.

Machu Picchu can be fully admired when the sun illuminates the landscape, when challenging dare clouds obscure the sun, as rain forms a gray cloak that barely shows through the forms of the mysterious citadel; but always during the day.

Machu Picchu is not a place that can be visited at night, however for the 100th anniversary of the discovery by Hiram Bingham (1911), was organized a show of light, color and music that showed the world an unprecedented, remarkable and unforgettable outlook to who were present there the night of the celebration.

Machu Picchu illuminated by lights of different colors, designing forms that seemed to emerge from the palette of a painter in the frenzy of the creative act, with musicians and singers celebrating the event with flying gliders and other acts offered a magical vision that night.
