In October 2005, my son and I took 3 weeks of vacation in our country Peru.
We returned our country after 11 years. We were very excitedly and happy, because we didn't see our relatives for long time.
We spend 4 days to visit Cuzco City, located at south-east of Peru.
Macchu Pichu (Cuzco) or The Lost City of The Incas, is the first tourist attraction in Peru. It is located at 112 km of Cuzco City at 2,400 meters of altitude sea level.
Since its discovery back in 1911 by the American researcher Hiram Bingham, Macchu Pichu Is a beautiful example of Incas’ work.
Macchu Picchu was the most important Inca center for worship and astronomic observation. In Macchu Picchu City has two big important areas: to the south, the agriculture area is made up of terraces and aquaducts. To the north, the urban area are temples, observatories, workshops and sacred burial plots.
There are three ways to reach Macchu Pichu:
- By helicopter (30 m. flight)
- By train (4 hours )
- And through the trekking route as The Inca Trail (a 3 days journey). The trail is one of the
most spectacular routs in the world.
I think Macchu Picchu is a magic place surrounded of big mountains and the jungle. We wish to return in the future again.

So, which route did you take up to Macchu Pichu? I'd love to hike the Inca trail, but I've heard that there's a waiting list of months to do so!
You have actually been to Macchu Pichu! Ever since I learned about it in school, I have thought of it as a very special place that would be wonderful to visit and explore. And you have been there. That is great.
Recently, I read 1491 which tries to show how the Americas were before Columbus discovered them. It has a lot of information about the Incas that show the many accomplishments they made before the Europeans arrived.
Rosa, I went to Peru last summer, and I think that Macchu Pichu is is a beautiful place.
I like it!!!!
