For a truly amazing vacation experience, a lot of people prefer the majesty of natural wonders and historical locations. Both of these wonderful options are plentiful in South America and there are a number of traveling deals that can combine multiple stops for a bigger adventure. Machu Picchu Iguazu Falls tours are very popular and are said to be truly phenomenal.
Overlooking Peru's Urabamba Valley at almost eight thousand feet over sea level, is an ancient complex that once housed the mighty Inca. This fifteenth century city was unknown to all but the locals until 1911. It has since grown into a top tourist location and the most popular icon to represent a once powerful civilization and its strong, innovative people.
Having escaped the destruction of early Spanish invaders and now with the protection of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an official Peruvian Historical Sanctuary, this culturally significant find is largely intact. To give visitors a more accurate idea of how it may have originally appeared, reconstruction and preservation has been done on some key buildings. To further limit wear, the number of visitors to the complex and the famous trail that leads to it, are limited.
The Temple of the Sun, The Inti Watana and The Room of the Three Windows are the primary structures of this complex. The city planners separated the other buildings based on whether they served urban, religious or agricultural needs. Everything is so well laid out to flow with the natural surroundings and get the most effective use of how the land flows, creating a stunningly seamless vista.
Along with the splendor of this ancient complex, the packages also include the natural wonder that graces the point where Argentina and Brazil meet. This amazing site, surrounded by the lushness of the jungle, has been called one of South America's most dramatic vistas. In a breathtaking display, an excess of two hundred and fifty single waterfalls of varied sizes span this massive cliff side.
This beautiful formation is not only taller than the famous cascades at Niagara, but they are twice as wide. Argentina is host to the majority of these waterfalls, which create a spectacular scene that is best viewed from the Brazilian side. As tons of water comes crashing over the cliffs into the river below, it creates fantastic mists that rise up into the jungle setting.
This amazing phenomena can be viewed in a variety of ways. Those who want to move at their own pace may find the paved paths to be pleasant, where some might prefer to travel by train from one overlook to another. However, to become fully immersed in the experience, visitors can take a boat ride out into the river and find out what it is like behind the curtain of falling water.
An incredible South American vacation can be had beholding the majestic beauty of waterfalls and experiencing the history of ancient ruins. A trip through time and glimpse of the power of nature are a combination that will make a lasting impression. There is also the benefit of having the opportunity to take a cultural taste of Brazilian, Argentine and Peruvian ways of living.
