Peru,Though Machu Picchu was uninhabited for 600 years (at
least), this historical Inca citadel is one of the true marvels of the
world !! The magnificent, breathtaking, collection of stone ruins, palaces,
towers, temples, terraces, staircases and other remains, nestling in mountains,
surrounded by beautiful vegetation, is an unforgettable lifetime experience-in
itself worth the journey to Peru !!
Cuzco, Peru is 11,024 feet above sea level. It was once the capital of the Inca Empire. Remains of the granite stone walls of the Inca Palace and temples can still be seen, the most remarkable is the Koricancha, or Sun Temple. Of the several churches in Cuzco, the 17th-century La Merced and its monastery San Francisco Belen de los Reyes, Santa Clara and San Blas are the most interesting, representative as they do of a blend of Spanish Colonial and Indian architecture. Overlooking Cuzco is the immense fortress of Sacsayhuaman. Also easily accessible are the Inca sites of Kenko, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay, and the markets of Pisac. Lima, PERU is also known as the "City of the Kings" or "Garden City", Lima is the capital of Peru with over 7 million inhabitants. It was founded in 1535 in the Rimac valley by the Spanish conqueror, Francisco Pizarro. The city is very contrasting: beautiful historical buildings with balconies, convents, churches and plazas from the days of the Spaniards are located in the old city center, whereas modern buildings, parks, numerous restaurants, hotels and shopping centers are located in the residential areas of Miraflores, San Isidro, Monterrico, La Molina and others. Lima has several splendid museums, galleries and monuments reeking with history! |
