Machu Picchu reopened its doors to visitors on November 2, but the government of Peru organized quite the show the previous night to celebrate the event.
On Sunday night, a grand reopening ceremony took place, complete with a spectacular light show. A select group of tourists entered the UNESCO World Heritage site under an array of dazzling lights, and 45 local artists were on hand for special performances. Even more moving, messages from people all over the world were projected onto the citadel.
