Mysterious Machu Picchu

a completely traditional sight of famous Machu Picchu, we reached it at the end of 4 days and half by making the way of the Inca, a course making passed by various successive vegetations and while discovering various ruins incas...

On this shot of Bibiweb, you will be able to realize from where the photo one was taken.

The treasure of Peru definitively did not lose anything of its mystery: set up to prevent the invasion of the Amazonian tribes, was was a fortress a religious capital, a temple dedicated to the sun-worship, the refuge of the INCA last or a place of sacrifice of the Virgins of the sun? The enigmas do not miss.

The amateurs of archaeology, history, mystery, or quite simply of amazement will find in this site a source of unequalled inspiration. The famous lost city exerts still today an enormous power of - fascination. Its surrealist charm does of them one of the most beautiful sites of planet.

Unfortunately, Machu Picchu is in danger. Contrast enters the majestic past and an obscure present jumps besides to the eyes. The growing international reputation of the place is not likely to reverse the tendency. It is undoubtedly the enigma most important to elucidate. According to several guides met, a new archeological site, comparable with Machu Picchu but much vaster, would have been discovered. Its opening to general public should be carried out about 2011. Would the solution to save Machu Picchu of the ruin be, once more, to make it fall into the lapse of memory?

C'est vrai qu'on a eu la chance de ne pratiquement pas avoir de touristes ce jour là... C'était assez magique d'arriver par le chemin de l'inca et de voir pointer ce site depuis la porte du soleil... Que de souvenirs :)

that's the problem of visiting ancient sites or diving at the Great Barrier Reef: inspite of the fact you are finally felling these wonders, you know that ostensive tourism can destroy them...
