Machu Picchu in Peru

You can travel to this place, which is situated in the Andes Mountains of Peru. At present, this place is known to be a royal retreat for the rulers of Incan. This place was created in the 15th century A.D., and after less than 100 years it was abandoned. This is a remote site that continues to astonish with its aptly combined, mortarless, and delicate (intricate) work of stone. There are several large, multi-ton blocks of stone that are aptly joined with each other, and there is no use of cement. It looks perfect and flawless. You can begin the journey to this place, which will mostly begin with the mountain city of Cusco, which was the capital city of the Inca empire.

Visiting Cusco

One of the most fascinating places to which you can travel and explore is Cusco. Before and after you have visited Machu Picchu, you can spend some days here. You can also do hiking at the Inca trail from this place i.e., Cusco to Machu Picchu. The complete hike will take 5 days, but you can also begin closer and start a 3-day hike through the trail. It takes about three and a half hours to travel by train from Cusco.

Besides all of that, it is also important for you to know that Machu Picchu has limited the number of visitors to the site due to the over tourism factor. All the visitors would require a permit before visiting the site. You can get the same from the Peruvian ministry of culture, and for that, you will have to make the reservation up to 4 months in advance. You will not get this information on the website.

Arizona, Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is one of the 7 natural wonders of the world in the state of Arizona in the USA. It is one of such beautiful places that seeing it in photo or video will not be enough, it is a must visit site. The 277-mile-long Grand Canyon is believed to have started around 5 to 6 million years ago. It was made by the flow from the Colorado River, and it still continues to flow through it. Besides all of that, the canyon is 18 miles wide and up to a mile deep. You can imagine yourself standing on the edge and looking down at the rock wall, which is almost a mile from the river, which is below.

Several visitors visit the area, which is known as the South Rim. This is exactly where a number of good hiking trails into the Grand Canyon begins. You can get great overlooks along the rim road, which is also called the desert view drive. You can find here and in nearby places a wide range of accommodations, ranging from tents to luxury canyon-side resorts.
