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.
The Fall is formed by Iguazu River, spanning the border between Brazil and Argentina. On he south, there are National reserves and the National park of Argentina, and the north side belongs to Brazil. The river forms a natural boundary between these two protected areas. Here live jaguars, anteaters and howler monkeys, together with other interesting animals and over three hundred bird species.
The striking beauty of this entire region will positively take your breath away. The waterfall is simply stunning, both visually and acoustically. Large clouds of water drops, lush vegetation and numerous endemic plants and animals, all this together make one really unforgettable experience.
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.
Over the centuries, the city was forgotten and surrounded jungle grew over the site. In 1911, it was finally discovered by Hiram Bingham, an American historian lecturing at Yale University. Hiram wrote numerous books about this forgotten city and the most famous one is the one 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 surrounds it on three sides. There is a secret entrance there, once used by their soldiers. They made a rope bridge across the river, and this is an example or Inca's architecture. Coming here is a real treat. The buildings are extraordinary, the view is stunning and surrounding nature is breath-taking. If you enjoy architectural sights, this is a place for you.
