If you enjoy traveling around the world and gathering new and exciting experiences, South America could be your next destination. Well-organized Machu Picchu Iguazu Falls tours are designed for people equally interested in natural and cultural beauties. This might be a great adventure, and you will certainly have the opportunity to see amazing things and to have a really good time.
Surrounded by subtropical rain forest, with over two thousand different vascular plants, Iguazu Falls are made up of numerous breath-taking cascades. The waterfall is semicircular, eighty meters high and almost three kilometers wide. This is certainly one of the most spectacular waterfalls not only in South America, but in the world.
On the one side of the Iguazu river there are Argentinian National reserves and parks, on the other side is Brazil. The river is actually the southern border of Brazilian Iguacu National park. Spanning the border between these countries, this extraordinary series of powerful cascades will positively make you speechless. The jungle surrounding this amazing site is full of various animals, including jaguars and howler monkeys, and especially large variety of birds.
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.
Peruvian Government understood the value of this area and declared it as historical sanctuary. The site is included in UNESCO's World Heritage List. This is still really intriguing civilization and this beautiful example of their architecture will make your juices flow. Although some parts had to be reconstructed, the city is preserved in original state.
There are numerous theories about the real purpose of Machu Picchu. Some believe it was built to honor a sacred landscape. Others believe it was used as a royal retreat. Until the real lost city was found, many people had believed that Machu Picchu is that city. The real lost city of Incas is Espiritu Pampa, by the way. Hiram also believed this city is a temple devoted to Virgins of the Sun.
Umamba river is surrounding the site, and protects it at three sides. There was a secret entrance to the city, a rope bridge called Inca's bridge. Inca's architecture is really interesting. Used to seismic activities, they were always trying to make earthquake resistant stone walls. They were very precise in this, and here they certainly made a masterpiece. That's why it is one of the most important architectural sites in South America.
