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.
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 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.
Another top destination included in this tour is widely known Machu Picchu. This extraordinary example of Inca's architecture was built in fifteenth century, when Pachacuti was the emperor. People lived there for maybe one hundred years. Spanish Conquistadors were never here, and thanks to that, the city was preserved as it was. The sacred rocks are still preserved.
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.
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.
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.
