Inká´s Destination. Rock legend Bono visited on Saturday the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu along with his family and members of his security team.
The U2 frontman entered said new world wonder this afternoon using an alternative route known as ‘Tercera Curva’ to avoid the impressive number of journalists and fans waiting for him at the main entrance.
After his visit, the Irish icon noted that didn’t expect Machu Picchu to be like that and that he would love to come back.
“I love Machu Picchu,” Bono told Andina news agency.
Bono visited many places such as the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Three Windows, the Sacred Rock and the Temple of the Sun.
The rock legend arrived at the citadel at 13:27 hours (18:27 GMT) in a private bus. Nearly one hundred people, mostly tourists, where waiting for him with video recorders and cameras.
After waiting for five minutes, the tour guide and a member of Bono’s security team got out of the vehicle and said that Bono will not enter the citadel as long as there are so many people.
On Friday, the Irish icon said “Gracias, muchas gracias amigos (Thank you very much friends). I am here with my "familia" (family) to discover this beautiful country for the first time. I am very excited, but I am here with the family so I hope you understand I can’t say hello to everybody. For the next time. Thank you.”
