There are so many places that I would like to go to. I have thought to visit different countries around the world. But right now, I am going to talk about Machu Picchu. Recently a friend went there, she told me that it was a beautiful and very spiritual experience.
Machu Picchu is an ancient monument situated on a mountain ridge 2.430 metres above sea level. It is located in the Cusco Region in Peru. The Incas built it around the 1450s, but it was abandoned a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Machu Picchu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, both cultural and natural. Since its discovery in 1911, growing number of tourists visit the site annually, reaching more than one million this year.
The Peruvian people protect their place a lot, it represents a lot for them. It's not just about business, it's more to preserve its culture. Many people say that you can walk so much when you visit it, but the experience is worth it. This is a great place to find yourself and to understand more the work of the ancestors when technology did not exist (It was a great technology for that moment).
In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide next to Great Wall of China, Petra in Jordan, The Colosseum in Rome, Chichen Itza in Mexico, Taj Mahal in India and Christ the Redeemer in Brasil.
