Machu Picchu, wonder of the world. Look at THIS it's breathtaking. I've been there and here's why YOU should!

in #travel7 years ago

Are you a traveler, someone who wants to go on an adventure or someone that loves history? This is one of the most amazing places I've been to. I'm going to show you the city of Machu Picchu, the 4-day hike towards the city and that includes a part of the Inca trail. This will be a photo/video blog where I will let you think about a couple of things.

Archaeologist Hiram Bingham discovered in 1911 the ancient Inca city: Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu was built in the 15th century at the height of the power of the Incas. The city has been preserved because Spanish conquistadors have never found the city. The city is at high altitude and is difficult to reach. If you see the city later you should ask yourself this:

  1. How do they get the very heavy stones to the top

  2. How do they get the stones seamlessly connected

These are 2 simple questions I've been thinking about and I really couldn't answer them. Feel free to answer in the comments below. Here's the city and to start with a photo show 4 days prior to reaching Machu Picchu. Please enjoy and go there if u and while u still can.

For 4 days we walked roads and parts of the Inca-trail like this one. Very steep, but amazingly beautiful. Think about it, they handmade these paths for 100's of KM.!!

this is what i mean with the stones. How would you do this in the 15th sentury?

I will not show you all. The 4 -ay hike we had to cross rivers by zipline, had to climb pretty tough steps and we met a lot of awesome people all around the world. If you liked this post give me a follow and let me know what you think about it below.

All the best, go travel and live. Now is the time to do so!
