All these breath-taking destinations of South America are a very good reason for visiting this part of the world. There are different types of tours organized in this area, and Machu Picchu Iguazu Falls Tours are probably among the most exciting ones. They are interesting, educational and really unique.
Iguazu falls are simply spectacular. Eighty meters high and three kilometers wide series of amazing cascades, placed side by side in one long, semicircular form is absolutely stunning view. You could most certainly say that these lovely waterfalls are among the most amazing ones in the world.
The Iguazu River forms the north boundary of National reserves and the National park in Argentina and the southern boundary of Iguacu National park in Brazil. These extraordinary falls span the border between these two countries. Typical wildlife found in this entire area includes jaguars, grand anteaters, tiger-cats and howler monkeys. Over three hundred species of birds live here.
The entire area is so beautiful that both countries decided to protect it. Loud and enormous, the waterfall is surrounded with lush vegetation, and all together looks like one loud and exciting garden of Eden. You wouldn't want to miss this extraordinary sight.
Machu Picchu was probably built at the time when Inca's emperor was Pachacuti, in the fifteenth century. It was abandoned only a century after that, during the Spanish conquest. Thanks to the fact these Spanish Conquistadors never found out about this city, it was mostly preserved in its original shape. Spanish conquistadors would have destroyed the sacred rocks you can see here.
This amazing place was hidden for centuries, surrounded by the jungle. One American historian, Hiram Bingham, found it in 1911. He was a history professor on the Yale University. After that, he became obsessed by this great place and wrote several books about it. His book The Lost City Of The Incas made him quite popular.
The site was first declared as historical sanctuary, by the Government of Peru. After that, UNESCO put it on their World heritage list. Although some parts of these walls had to be reconstructed, the city is still in really good condition. This was a great civilization, an this architectural jewel is the best proof for that.
It is still quite unknown why it was build in this particular spot and with what purpose. There are so many theories about that. In early days, it was thought that it could be the Lost City.Espiritu Pampa, the real Lost City was found maybe eighty kilometers from Peru's capital, of course, but other theories can still be heard. Some believe it was built as a royal retreat, and some that this all landscape is sacred.
The site is placed above the bow of the Umamba River. Inca traditional rope bridge leads to the secret entrance. The walls are built of polished dry stone, using sophisticated Inca's techniques. Some parts had to be reconstructed to their original shape. This certainly is one of the most important and visited archaeological sites in South America.
