Hello everyone, I love to travel but I can't travel much here in Venezuela for the situation and I can't afford it so this is my second post of my favorite places to travel.

This time I bring you to Peru with the Incas and Machu Picchu that means "old Mountain"
I'm a fan of Inca culture, architecture and all of their mysteries.

Is a 15th-century Inca citadel situated on a mountain ridge 2,430 metres (7,970 ft) above sea level. It is located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Machupicchu District in Peru, above the Sacred Valley, which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cuzco and through which the Urubamba River flows.

There's a lot of people that says about of an aura of enigma around the incredible architecture of Machu Picchu maybe because the place have been considered a religious place. And tell the legends that were beings touched by the divinity. The Incas were astonishingly intelligent as evidenced by the knowledge reflected in the constructions which if we take the Era they were very perfect for the time.

Hola a todos, amo viajar pero no puedo hacerlo mucho aqui en Venezuela y debido a la situación no puedo costearlo así que aquí está mi segundo post de mis Lugares Favoritos para viajar.

Esta vez les traigo a el Perú de los Incas y Machu Picchu que significa "vieja montaña"
Soy una fan de la cultura Inca, la arquitectura y todos sus misterios.

Es un poblado andino-incaica construido antes del siglo XV en el promontorio rocoso situado en una cresta montañosa a 2.430 metros (7.970 pies) sobre el nivel del mar. Está ubicada en la Región de Cusco, provincia de Urubamba, en el distrito de Machupicchu en Perú, por encima del Valle Sagrado, que está a 80 kilómetros al noroeste de Cuzco y por donde fluye el río Urubamba.

Hay mucha gente que dice acerca de un aura de enigma alrededor de la increíble arquitectura de Machu Picchu tal vez porque el lugar ha sido considerado un lugar religioso. Y cuentan las leyendas que eran seres tocados por la divinidad. Los incas eran asombrosamente inteligentes como lo demuestra el conocimiento reflejado en las construcciones que si tomamos en cuenta la época son muy perfectas.

Like all the amazing constructions that are a relic for humanity they raise questions about how they were made and how they could carry out the constructions and there are different stories that try to explain. You can read some of them here

But is in spanish so gonna tell you shortly. The first say that It could have been built by the inhabitants of the city of Atlantis. The second goes to the wiser Incas knew a preparation called "Ayaconchi" that was achieved with the mixture of several plants that had the property to soften the stones. Ok and It can still be more weird with the third one Edward Leedskalnin an american built the "Coral Castle" with stones weighing up to 9 tons using only a strange mechanism and a power that came from a "black box"

Como todas las construcciones sorprendentes que son una reliquia para la humanidad plantean preguntas sobre cómo se hicieron y cómo podrían llevar a cabo las construcciones y hay diferentes historias que tratan de explicarlas. Puedes leer algunas de ellas aqui por suerte esta en español y pueden leerlo con calma.

Igualmente les haré un pequeño resumen la primera teoría dice que podrían haber sido construidos por los habitantes de la ciudad de la Atlántida. La segunda cuenta que los Sabios Incas conocía una preparación llamada "Ayaconchi" que se logró con la mezcla de varias plantas que tenían la propiedad de suavizar las piedras. Ok y todavía puede ser más extraño con la tercera Edward Leedskalnin un americano construyó el "Castillo de Coral" con piedras de hasta 9 toneladas utilizando sólo un mecanismo extraño y un poder que provenía de una "caja negra"

Also is great the Peruvians culture and his clothing and of course the food is so complete and with exotic flavors using combination of seafood and characteristics of the latin american kitchen

También es genial la cultura de los peruanos y su ropa y por supuesto su comida es tan completa y con sabores exóticos usando combinaciones de mar y tierra con muchas características de la cocina latina.

Many times people say that the videos they make capture aliens, so when I go there someday gonna record EVERYTHING and maybe stopping by the nazca desert and take a look of the awesome giant hieroglyphics also known as the "nazca lines" that always people talk about and the mystery keeps on and on.

Muchas veces la gente dice que los videos que hacen capturan a los extraterrestres, por lo que cuando algún día vaya voy a grabar TODO y quizás pase por el desierto de nazca y le eche un vistazo a los jeroglíficos gigantes también conocido como las líneas de nazca de las que la gente tanto habla y el misterio sigue y sigue.
