Machu Picchu Beyond the Stones, Into the Mysteries

https://TravelingFevah.com - Machu Picchu, nestled high in the Andes Mountains of Peru, is not just an archaeological site but a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the ancient Incan civilization. Dating back to the 15th century, this remarkable citadel is shrouded in mystery and intrigue, captivating the hearts and minds of travelers from around the globe. 

Historical Significance: Machu Picchu was constructed during the height of the Inca Empire, under the reign of Emperor Pachacuti. Its purpose remains a subject of debate among historians, with theories ranging from a royal estate to a religious sanctuary or a strategic military outpost. Regardless of its original function, Machu Picchu served as a symbol of Incan power and achievement. 

 Architectural Marvel: What sets Machu Picchu apart is its sophisticated stone architecture, characterized by meticulously cut and fitted stones without the use of mortar. The precision of the construction, particularly evident in structures like the Temple of the Sun and the Intihuatana stone, demonstrates the Incas' mastery of engineering and craftsmanship. Breathtaking Panoramic Views: Perched atop a ridge overlooking the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and lush greenery. 

The site's strategic location amidst the Andean peaks adds to its mystique, with clouds often swirling around the peaks, enhancing the ethereal ambiance. Cultural and Spiritual Significance: Machu Picchu holds immense cultural and spiritual significance for the indigenous Quechua people of Peru. It is believed to be a sacred site with astronomical alignments and ritualistic purposes, serving as a link between the earthly realm and the celestial heavens. The Intihuatana stone, often referred to as the "Hitching Post of the Sun," is thought to have been used for astronomical observations and ceremonies. Modern-Day Wonder: 

Today, Machu Picchu is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. It attracts visitors from all corners of the globe, drawn not only by its historical and architectural marvels but also by the sense of awe and wonder that pervades its ancient ruins.

Μια επίσκεψη στην "χαμένη πόλη Ίνκας" δεν είναι κάτι το απρόσιτα δύσκολο, αλλά συχνά περιγράφεται ως εμπειρία ζωής (μόλις εγκλιματιστείτε στο υψόμετρο). Ενώ η τετραήμερη πεζοπορία στο μονοπάτι Inca είναι αρκετά δύσκολη, αξίζει και με το παραπάνω τον κόπο να φτάσετε στην τοποθεσία κατά την ανατολή του ηλίου, σύμφωνα με προηγούμενους ταξιδιώτες. Εάν δεν είστε έτοιμοι όμως για αυτή την περιπέτεια, μπορείτε να πάρετε ένα τουριστικό τρένο προς βάση του βουνού. • COMPASS | We care www.compassteam.gr info@compasstravel.gr | (+30) 231 0818111 • #compassgr #machupicchu #incas #incacivilization #lostcity #cusco #templeofthesun #torreon #intihuatanastone #unesco #worldheritage #historicsanctuary #peru #latinamerica #adventure #adventureseeker #adventuretravel #travelaroundtheworld #wanderlust (at Machu Picchu) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_rjd8plcKh/?igshid=13g7xwke1aoqo

Exploring the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. -- The iconic Machu Picchu, is believed to have been constructed as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). The Incas built the estate around 1450 but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish conquest. Although known locally, this was not known to the Spanish during the colonial period. It was "rediscovered" in 1911 and brought to international attention. -- Today the Inca settlement is so popular among tourists of the world that the government had to impose a limit of 5000 (!) visitors per day. Luckily the site is big which makes it still possible to wander quietly in some parts of the site. -- #weirdosabroad #traveltheglobe #machupicchu #inca #incaempire #incacivilization #incas #machupiccucitadel #citadel #peru #travelling #southamerica #ruins #walls -- www.weirdosabroad.com (at Machupicchu, Cusco, Peru) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtW1UycF7mv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19wlz5p6cet8h
