Traveling In Peru And Bolivia
Different views of Machu Picchu, Peru's most important tourist destination and one of the 7 Wonders. Built most probably by Inca Chapacutec in the 15th century, The Llaqta (quechua for village) named after the Machu Picchu mountain is a marvel of the incas engineer. Stabilished 400m above the Urubamba river's canyon, the citadel had political, religious and militar facilities. The Intipunku (Sun's Gate) road was the main entrance to the city in Inca's times. Today it's the arrival point for treekers that run the 4-day Inca Trail, and can be used by regulars visitor who aim to get a view of the whole urban complex (Photo by Gustavo Basso/NurPhoto)
