Peter Frost, a British author who led an expedition to the area last year, described it as the largest Inca site found since 1964 when American explorer Gene Savoy discovered Vilcabamba, thought to be the capital of the empires jungle refuge. "Few, if any, Spanish conquistadors ever reached the southern part of Vilcabamba," said Frost, referring to the region around Vilcabamba. "This site may ultimately yield a record of Inca civilization from the very beginning to the very end, undisturbed by European contact -- an unparalleled opportunity."
