The Huffington Post has announced that Machu Picchu is the winner of its “Number One Place to See Before You Die” poll. The contest was the brainchild of Huffington Post Travel staff, who perused the latest edition of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, and chose the world’s top 16 can’t-miss sites. They then asked their readers to vote on sites including the Galapagos Islands, the Sahara Desert, and Moscow’s Red Square. The final round pitted Machu Picchu against Egypt’s Great Pyramids, with Machu Picchu chosen the “unanimous” winner.
