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 one of these places where most people are simply speechless. The nature is amazing, with lush vegetation and crystal clear air. And in the middle of all this, semicircular, three kilometers wide and eighty meters high waterfalls, one of the precious jewels of Nature. Stunning, spectacular and breath-taking view that cannot be described by words.
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.
A guided visit to famous Machu Picchu is also included in the tour. Made in fifteenth century, probably by the emperor Pachacuti, this beautiful city is one of the most interesting places to see here. It was inhabited for maybe a hundred years or so. Besides being damaged by time, weather and seismic activities, it is very well preserved. Even the sacred rocks are still there, thanks to the fact Spanish did not know about this city.
For centuries, this lovely city was hidden in the jungle, until Hiram Bingham discovered it. The interesting thing is that Bingham was not an archaeologist at all. He was lecturing history on the University of Yale. In any case, the site became very popular and Hiram wrote numerous books about his extraordinary discovery. One of his popular books is called The Lost City Of The Incas.
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.
There were so many theories about this lovely place. Hiram Bingham himself had a few. He believed it was the Lost City, as well as that it was a temple devoted to Sun Virgins. The site is surrounded with sacred landscape, and that's why some people believe the city was built to honor this sacred ground. Some scientists think it was made for royal retreat. Just to mention that the real Lost City is Espiritu Pampa.
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.
