MACHU PICCHU is a citadel
shrouded in mystery, and to this day
archaeologists have not uncovered the
history andpurpose of this city of stone.
The site has an area of about one square
kilometer, and stands in a region that
the Incas considered to be magical, due
to the meeting of the Andes mountains
with the mighty Amazon river.
|
|
Perhaps,
MACHU PICCHU mystery may
never be fully explained as, so far,
there are only hypothesis and
conjectures. For some, it may have been
an advance settlement for planned
further expansions by the Incas. Others
believe
MACHU PICCHU have been a
monastery where young girls (acllas)
were trained to serve the Inca and the
Willac Uno (HIgh Priest). Support for
this theory comes from the fact that of
the 135 bodies discovered while
exploring the site, 109 were female.

The history of the Imperial City of
Cusco, the legend goes, begins in the
11th or 12th century when the first
Inca, Manco Capac, obeying the dictates
of the Sun God, founded Cusco. On March 23, 1534, Francisco Pizarro,
the Spanish conquistador of Peru,
refounded the Inca city as a Spanish
colonial settlement. |
Today, Cusco, the archeological capital
of Peru and America, is a city open to the world,
warmly welcoming its many visitors.
Visitors marvel at the city's unusual
physical appearance, which uniquely and
harmoniously integrates, in the same
urban environmentr, pre-Colombian
monuments such as the Korikancha,
("Temple of the Sun"), the Ajlla Wasi,
the Amaru Cancha ("Fence of the Serpent"),
and the Kiswar Kancha, amongst others,
with "mestizo" (mixed Spanish and native)
architectural gems such as Cusco
Cathedral, the Church and Convent of La
Merced and the Temple of San Blas. |

active.

Arequipa Peru - It is known
as the White City because of the white
porous volcanic rock (sillar) that was
used to build most of the its buildings.
The city is surrounded by mountains and
snow capped volcanoes such as the Misti
(5820 m.), Chachani (6096 m.) and Pichu
Pichu. Arequipa City lies at 2400 meters
above sea level but it has a very
pleasant climate, its days are mostly
warm and sunny, and its nights are cool.

The Nazca Lines are an engima. No one
has proof who built them or why. Since
their discovery, the Nazca Lines have
inspired fantastic explanations from
ancient gods, a landing strip for
returning aliens, a celestial calendar
created by the ancient Nazca
civilization -- putting the creation of
the lines between 200 BC and 600 AD,
used for rituals probably related to
astronomy, to confirm the ayllus or
clans who made up the population and to
determine through ritual their economic
functions held up by reciprocity and
redistribution, or a map of underground
water supplies. |
