Tourist Places visited between 2009 and 2011 in Peru

Machu Picchu Lost City of the Incas 

A 130 kilometers from Cuzco, the Lost City of the Incas stands between precipices in the middle of an inaccessible place in the Peruvian Andes. 

The perfection of their buildings, their conservation and natural setting, sandwiched as it is on the crest of a ridge above the Urubamba river, make this site one of the most valuable archaeological treasures in the world, and certainly one of the most mystics.

Until the arrival to this region in 1911 the American explorer Hiram Bingham Machu Picchu was a secret to the world. Aupadas between peaks that touch the clouds at no less than 2350 meters above sea level and surrounded by ravines, the so-called Lost City of the Inca citadel is a fable in which the mighty natural scenery that surrounds spread of spiritual strength and radiating mystical complex.
It is believed that Machu Picchu, which in Quechua means "old mountain", was built in the mid-fifteenth century by the leader Pachacutec. The aim, say the strongest theories was act as llacta, ie settlement designed to manage the economy of the areas conquered by the Empire and possibly also to house the finest members of the aristocracy should it be necessary at some time; which occurred with the Spanish conquest of Cuzco in 1532, after which Machu Picchu was the refuge especially acllas, chosen to serve the sun god, until the city was probably abandoned when captured rebel last Inca, Tupac Amaru.

It was the most beautiful and the most secret llacta. In fact the paths leading to Machu Picchu were forbidden to the lower castes and their location was already a military secret that helped as anyone to preserve the abysses and the tangle of jungle that surrounds it, and the narrow, sneaky and only access this holy city today stands as one of the most valuable archaeological sites throughout South America and, without doubt, the biggest complaint around Peru, declared Historical Sanctuary in 1981-in which 32,592 hectares is included not only the area but archaeological landscapes, flora and fauna-and two years later added to the list of World Heritage Site by Unesco.

Apparently Machu Picchu was divided into three main areas: the residential area with the dwelling of the wise or amautas, rooms trapezoidal occupying princesses or ñustas and a sector of houses arranged on a slope intended for the nobility; popular addition to the neighborhood and the sacred district, the latter dedicated to the main deity Inti, the sun god.'s in this area where the main jewels of Intiwatana, the Temple of the Sun and the Room of the Three Windows.

Between temples, shrines, plazas and residential areas, the site adds about 140 buildings that follow the classical Inca style building, with walls polished and perfect joints in which there is not the slightest gap between the stones. Mazes of staircases and canals communicate all that are surrounded by downhill staggered terraced crops in growing corn or potato and Machu Picchu that allowed to be self-sufficient; indispensable given their isolation and secrecy.

How come? 

Once in Cuzco, in my opinion, it is cheaper to take a bus that will take us to Ollantaytambo train station for about 5 soles (per euro give us 3 soles and 20 soles). From there, take the train to finally take us to Machu Picchu American people for $ 12. In this train wagons for foreigners and Peruvians are still different, equally, other than the amount payable.

Machu Picchu town (formerly called Aguas Calientes) is extremely touristy. To stay we can find hotels and hostels in all price ranges. From $ 12 a night to $ 350 the cheapest room costs the famous Sanctuary Lodge, located at the top of the mountain.

Relaxed, we will travel up to the next morning to climb to the citadel. While there is a bus service which takes about 20 minutes and cost us five dollars, it is advisable to make the climb on foot. We will bear good shoes, plenty of water and looking forward for about an hour and a half, the wonderful scenery through some paths opened by the Incas in the jungle. The humidity during the round trip ninety percent. This region was called the Incas Antisuyo (one of four territories in which the divided Tawantinsuyu), which translated into Castilian means "eyebrow of the jungle" or the beginning of the jungle.

Once at the top and after a few minutes of rest to recuperate proceed to make the desired visit to Machu Picchu. The cost of entry for foreigners is 20 dollars, half for students. He did not take over a cup of coca tea to prevent altitude sickness or altitude sickness. At first glance, the feeling is of disbelief. How is it possible that this marvelous city was built 2,490 m above sea level in such a stunning setting ?. During the visit we will see each other monuments the following: The Temple of the Three Windows, the exhibition curator, deposits Qolqas (sort of barns), sources (ingenious systems to channel water), the astronomical observatory (Intiwatana) , the Temple of the Condor, the ceremonial rock, square, etc.

If we want to remain a little more up we dare to climb, a journey of about an hour, the Apu Huayna Picchu (famous mountain sacred to the Incas that is seen in almost all the pictures of Machu Picchu). Here is some danger rising so all too careful.

Those with vertigo or notice any symptoms of altitude sickness (headache, dizziness, nausea, etc.) should abstain. Despite the difficulty, fatigue, humidity and reward outstanding views that gives us the Apu Huayna Picchu worth.

After an exciting and tiring at the same time tomorrow, return to the village to enjoy before dinner, thermal baths. They are in the top of the main street. We were charged for five soles. They are open from five in the morning at eight o'clock.

Some travelers, the bravest, decide to extend your stay a day longer to undertake the ascent to Apu Putucusi. Mountain is topped with Inca flag Tawantisuyo. It takes about two hours uphill and two downhill. In this case the slope is greater and must always be accompanied. Although the possibility of finding any of them are remote, we must consider that we are at the beginning of the jungle and there are snakes.

COMPASS

Visa:
It is not needed. On leaving the country must pay in fees $ 28 American.
vaccines:

It is advisable to be vaccinated against yellow fever and malaria. It should, however, be reported in the Extremadura Health Service for additional security.
Personal recommendation:

Peru is a country undergoing economic problems, so it is advisable to wear clothing and medicine leftover us. Shortages in some places, is great and is very useful.
Peru telephone codes: 0051
Gastronomy:

Possibly the most famous Peruvian dish is ceviche. It is a preparation of different raw fish, like sea bass and kingfish, garnished with lemon, fresh yellow pepper with celery and garlic toast. We must not leave without trying the typical "kebabs" made ​​from beef heart, accompanied by potatoes and chili.
security:

In large cities, especially Lima, a lack of certainty and is alarming. In tourist places like Machu Picchu and Cusco, security is increased. A serene body (called there serenazgos) patrolling the streets all day. Minimum precautions as afield wander alone should be taken not to flaunt large amounts of money, etc.
currency:

The local currency is the nuevo sol. However, in most of Peru's dollar is accepted. It is advisable to look at several places before proceeding to change our euros. Due to the existence of a large number of counterfeits, it is appropriate to ask who has changed us to seal each ticket in order to apply if you receive any forged your return.

Internal transport

Domestic flights are very cheap and due to the great distances, it is sensible to use. Regarding the bus network must say that besides being mostly obsolete usually unpunctual.
The moral code of the Incas was summed up in the following precepts:

Ama Lulla (do not lie).
Ama Sua (do not steal).
Ama Quella (do not be lazy).
Sipex Ama (not dull).
Ama Mappa (no injuries).
Ama Huachicanqui (do not be adulterous)

Curiosity: If used on long journeys, the bus (there called buses) the traveler will appreciate that sometimes, we recorded the face with a camcorder. The reason is twofold. On the one hand, for safety. Furthermore, to identify travelers in case of accident. Rather, when one explain, certainly disturbing.

The best places to Mexico

The best places of my trip in India

India is a country that is not lost and can hardly be described in words. Not even in pictures. It is necessary for him to travel, live and feel in person to get an idea. It is a country that changes people. It is not a cliché, it's true. I think it affects travelers poverty you might get to see it, dignified and positive manner with which the Indians faced this religiosity and every second that passes there.

Map-of-the-path-of-India

If you really want to travel to India must have a predisposition to the adventure since, as we kinda os, public transport is not very comfortable and are very well organized but, yes, come to almost everywhere. My only advice is that you go so long as you can because the country is huge, slow transport and especially since the body and head need some time to adjust to India. In my case I think I started to adapt to the country last 2-3 weeks of being there. I stayed 4 months and went from south to north, traveling mainly by bus and train. In the northern states, Ladakh and Cashmir, also traveled by hitchhiking. On the map below you can see the route.

Here are some of the places I liked most in my little adventure in the world's largest democracy

Kerala


The southern state of Kerala is the most famous in India. It is on the west coast, plus miles and miles of tropical beaches, forests and full of animals. Culturally it is also very interesting because here you will find Hindu temples, churches, mosques, synagogues and even in a state that has the communist (he is full of communist flags everywhere).

With permission of treatments and massages and ayurvedic medicine Khatakali dances, the most famous is the experience of Kerala canoe ride on the backwaters of Alappuzha or Kottayam. The Backwaters are rivers, lakes and canals surrounded by greenery, in which many people live.

Hampi


The small village of Hampi is the most popular destination in the State of Karnataka. Formerly the town was the capital of the Vijayanagar Empire. Today still retain many of their ruins are World Heritage by UNESCO. The landscape around Hampi is brutal and the best way to know is by renting a bike and climbing some of the mountains. I recommend the Monkey Temple, but forget to give bananas to the monkeys, I had to run away chased by a few. My friends still be leaving on the ass.

The Vicente Ferrer Foundation (Anantapur)


As many of you know the Vicente Ferrer Foundation is an NGO working in the state of Andra Pradesh in India. Specifically around the city of Anantapur, one of the driest and poorest areas around the country. This NGO was founded by the Catalan Vincente Ferrer (candidate for Nobel Peace Prize) in 1969, has over 155,000 members across Spain that support and finance sustainable development projects (agriculture, microcredit, water management, health and education ). It employs over 1800 people in various hospitals, schools and projects.

We visited the foundation without knowing if they would let us be, and the experience was amazing. We got a room, food and an Indian guide who spoke Castilian and taught us several hospitals, schools and projects. We had 3 of the best days of the whole trip. Impressive work done in India. If you want to visit the NGO, organize trips themselves.

Goa


Goa is probably the country's smallest state and tourism. It is the ideal place if you are looking for beaches and partying. In addition to its beaches, Goa is famous for its markets and festivals hippies trance. Goa is normal sleep in a cabin on top of a palm tree in front of the beach, rent a bike to tour the state.

Varansi (or Benares)


One of the oldest cities in the world, continuously inhabited for over 3000 years. It is one of the places required if you want to know the real India. Varansi is a holy city in Hinduism as it passes by the Ganges River, that makes religion so permeates everything. An estimated 60,000 people bathe every day in the holy waters of the river and greatly contaminated. So a stroll through the ghats (stairs leading down to the river) is essential to know the city.

If you come up north of the Ghats will come to the crematoria. There you can witness how the dead burned in a ceremony that is repeated every day for thousands of years. After burning, the ashes thrown into the river but some families do not have enough money to buy the necessary wood, so do not be surprised if you see human remains, burned media, floating down the Ganges River. This is the sort of thing to which one takes a little getting used to in India.

Haridwar and Rishikesh


Haridwar is in the north, in the state of Uttarakhand. Haridwar signfica the door to God and the Ganges River passes through it. Although here it is clean. This village is famous for the Kumbh Mela festival. A festival held every 12 years and in 2003 brought together 70 million people. So it's the largest in the world and probably the history festival. The next will be held in 2016.

Rishikesh is near Hariwdar, so if traveling through this area is a good idea to visit both towns. Rishikesh is the yoga mecca. Since the Beatles came here to do yoga, the village has seen every year more and more foreigners came in search of inner peace. The Ganges river also passes through the village and at this point is very clean so it is highly recommended bathing in it.

Mc Leod Ganj (near Dharamsala)


When the Dalai Lama had to flee Tibet in 1959 and came here to Mc Leod Ganj since then has become the capital of Tibet into exile. Mc Leod is a small village atop a hill and surrounded by nature and mountains. Here you will find free Tibetan culture and if you are lucky to attend one of the conferences that the Dalai Lama given from time to time. Around the village are also perfect for hiking.

Manali


Manali is a town in northern India over 2000 meters above sea level. This town is famous among travelers for being the place where you want to smoke go Xaras (Indian hashish). And it is true that there are many people who go to that (especially you Israelis) but Manali is also a good place from which des excursions. The forests around the town are beautiful and are formed by giant trees with huge waterfalls. There are also several hot springs sites. If you are interested you may do climbing or paragliding.

Leh


Leh is the capital of the northern state of India, Ladahk. Leh is situated at 3600 meters high and can only be reached by plane or by road from Manali to just open summers and reaching more than 5000 meters high. A brutal, but highly recommended long way.

The city, like the entire state of Ladahk is primarily Buddhist and looks more like Tibet than India. Lunar landscapes and mountains Ladahk are impressive and make it one of the best sites you hiking.

Srinagar


Srinagar is the capital of the famous Cashmir. A land that has spent decades dealing with India and Pakistan. Srinagar is a city with a huge lake in the middle, filled with floating houses where you can stay. A highly recommended experience to spend a day walking around the lake boat observing life on it.
