MACHU PICCHU |
|||
|
This stone citadel located 112 km from Cusco, was discovered by Hiram Bingham in 1 911. The citadel was built on a very special spot covered in vegetation between two mountains: the Machu Picchu (old mountain) and Huayna Picchu (young mountain), at the foot of which meanders the |
||||
|
Urubamba or Vilcanota river (lower jungle featuring abundant flora and fauna). The site comprises military constructions, plazas, temples and agricultural terraces. The citadel can be reached by train (3-4 hours) or by helicopter (25 minutes flight), plus a 20 minute bus ride. It is possible to walk along the Inca Trail, one of the most famous trekking routes in Peru, starting from km 88 of the railway up to the citadel. Organized groups depart from the town of Chilca, at km 76 of the railway. |

CUSCO |

|
There is some uncertainty about the correct name of the city. According to some chroniclers, in the first centuries of the existence of this most important city in pre-Columbian South-America, its name was Akamama that according to Guaman Poma de Ayala means "chicha's mother" (chicha is a |
||||
|
fermented corn beer). Possibly it was Aqhamama -in the modern Quechua spelling- or "chicha mother". Surely that name became useless by the beginning of the Inkan development. When this was the ancient Capital of the Tawantinsuyo, it was named as Qosqo, word that is translated as "navel" or "center". That is the regular name for any Quechua speaking Andean Man. After the Spanish invasion in 1533 the name was transformed into Cuzco, word that according to the Spanish language dictionary is contemptuous |
