Machu Picchu: Marvelous of the World

Machu Picchu is located 120 kilometers to the Northwest of Cusco's city with 2,400 meters height. The only exit ramps are by train (4 hours), helicopter (30 minutes) or walking. There is no a road that communicates Cusco's city and Machu Picchu's ruins, the reason is the difficult geography since the citadel is located in the top of a hill in the middle of a mountainous mountain chain cut only by the river Urubamba.

Machu Picchu's citadel is one of the archaeological jewels of the world and the most important tourist destination of Peru.

Maybe Machu Picchu's major attraction is the technological development level achieved by its builders for the architecture and the stonework. The unions of the stones in some of the environments are so narrow that not even a pin might be inserted. The most significant stone is the "Intihuatana" or solar calendar, which was allowing to the Incas to know accurately the seasons and the climate throughout the year. Nevertheless, many people think in Machu Picchu more than the history and former technologies, also there is an energy and peace that surrounds everybody who t comes and visits so mysterious place.
