	Machu Picchu		TRIPS TO PERU: MACHU PICCHU



	TRIPS TO PERU: MACHU PICCHU The citadel of Machu Picchu constitutes most important of attractive the tourist ones of Cuzco. Open pie in 1911 by North American explorer Hiram Bingham, this citadel is considered one of the most extraordinary samples of landscaping architecture of the world. Machu Picchu (in quechua, “old mountain”), nailed in the top of a mountain that dominates the deep tube of the Urubamba river, in the heat of tropical forest, simultaneously constituted center of cult and astronomical observation and deprived property of the family of the Pachacútec Inca. It consists of two great areas: an agriculturist, trained mainly by platform and enclosures of food storage; and another urban one, in that she emphasizes the sagrada zone, with worked temples, places and real mausoleums with an exquisite level of perfection. The wrought stone perrons and channels are a constant throughout this singular archaeological site. Against the citadel the Huayna Picchu rises (in quechua, “young mountain”), to which it is acceded by a lofty rock road. • Season of visit: The year can be visited throughout, although the best time is of April to October, that is the dry season. • Temperatures: The temperatures principles reach 27° C, whereas the minims rarely descend from 11° C. • Altitude: 2.400 ms • Access: It is located to 3 hours of trip in train from the city, although also it is possible to be arrived on foot at her in helicopter (30 min) or (4 days by the Way Inca). • Minimum demurrage: minimum of 1 day whole for Machu Picchu and between 5 and 7 days for the environs is required and Way Inca (3 or 4 days. 39 km). Historical sanctuary of Machu Picchu Located on a surface of 32,592 hectares, the Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu acts as to preserve a peculiar flora and fauna, and the landscaping beauties of the surrounding forests, as well as to contribute to the protection of the located archaeological rest in him. Much of the beauty and the enchantment that surrounds to Machu Picchu, the tourist attractive major of Peru, must to its spectacular natural surroundings: the mountain forests of this historical sanctuary. Trekking Way Inca It is the most spectacular route of trekking more concurred of Peru and perhaps one of of America, forming part of than 23,000 km of ways constructed more by the Incas in South America. Every year, approximately 25,000 travellers worldwide cross extraordinary 43 km of this paved with stones route, constructed by the Incas to advance until the unconquerable citadel of Machu Picchu, in deep of the mountain forest cuzqueña. Flora and Fauna It is defined by diverse factors, mainly by the height and the climate. In the high parts the calls exist Andean pulses high, between which they emphasize different types from ichus as shulla screams and it, as well as crespillo. The lowest parts are characterized by the greater abundance of vegetation like: pisonay, queña, the alders, ferns, palms and puyas. Also there are around the archaeological set approximately 90 varieties of orchids. As far as the fauna, they honor in the place the called bird gallito of rocks, the bear of spectacles, as well as tigrillos, tarucas, vizcachas, great variety of picaflores, butterflies and insects. Architectonic characteristics The original constructors of Machu Picchu worked arduously to obtain an architectonic balance in that one so special and difficult place. Inclusively they got to use materials of the neighborhoods in order to adapt the constructions at different levels. Two great sectors are observed: towards the south the agricultural sector and to the north the urban sector. Both have been raised on a natural division, taking advantage of a dry pit consequence of a geological fault. The Agricultural Sector The Way of the Inca leads to the South sector it divides and it in two before arriving at the entrance that allows the access to the citadel. By the slope of the hill are the platforms that extend horizontally in the mountain and which they are of different type and dimension. It is observed that those of the part superior of the entrance way were for agricultural functions, for being more widths and to present/display stairs in flown, unlike the platforms inferiors that would serve to avoid the erosions caused in rains of the zone. A water channel exists only that goes towards the sector, in that are rooms with straw ceiling which, apparently, served like deposits (called collpas in quechua). Sentry post One is before the cover main and is conformed by a building of three walls to windows, from where the sectors are appraised urban and agricultural, as well as the environs, being an ideal place to take photographies. Cemetery superior and ritual rock The archeologists found rest human that they belonged to burials realized in the surroundings. Also have been stones drilled in the part superior that were possibly used for offerings. A granite-like ritual rock exists, worked with steps, in which dorsal position can be accommodated to a person On guard. Urban sector It is the citadel proper. It has outline in the form of “U”. It consists of two series of constructions that are on the brink of madness the precipice to each side of the place or Chaupipata, which has a North-South axis. In the urban sector several temples exist, sets of rooms and factories. The constructions that emphasize more are those that are described next. The Temple of the Sun It is conformed by a series of constructions that dominate the set of the citadel. It has semicircular form and it is on a massive rock with a natural curvature of 10,5 M.s have been used stone blocks finely worked. In this building two trapezial windows notice and have protuberances in the corners. Towards the North side it emphasizes a door with drilled jambs. To the west of this temple there is a rectangular patio with nine hornacinas put in with stone nails. The Intihuatana It is promoted through 78 steps until arriving at the abierto patio of wrought walls. In a terrace three steps carved on granite-like rock are seen and in the central part it emphasizes a monolith species carved and polished in several planes, which finish in a prism quadrangular of 0,36 M. of stop and oriented towards the northwest and Southeast. The vertices are directed towards the four cardinal points. Apparently the Intihuatana was used like solar clock and also like ritual altar. Group of the Sagrada Rock One is in an adjacent quadrangular enclosure two rooms. The sagrada rock measures 3 M.s of height, 7 basic M.s and 1 pedestal of 0,30 m. Its form is resembled the one of a feline. It acted as ritual. Temple of the Three Windows It is located to the east of the main place. It has rectangular plant. The name comes from its typical trapezial windows. Main temple. - Located to the north of the Sagrada Place, near the Temple of the Three Windows. It has 11 M.s of length by 8 M.s of width. The Doors Frequently doors of different characteristics, size, style and decoration are observed, although almost all has trapezial form. The Street of the Sources Towards the south, between the Temple of the Sun and the Real Palace, the water jets known in the region like Paqchas are concentrated more. This group of sources or pools provides themselves of the originating water of a spring located to a kilometer, obtaining that the water flows by different levels. Mausoleum Enormous inclined stone block to support part of the Temple of the Sun. It was the place where one surrendered cultured and offerings to momias of the main authorities occurred. Places They emphasize four places in different levels. They are interconnected by embedded steps. In these places social and religious activities were fulfilled. One of the places is flanked by andenerías. Huayna Picchu. - It is the mountain located against Machu Picchu. Its name quechua is translated like “Young Mountain”. The access from Machu Picchu takes almost one hour by a footpath from vertical perrons and in zig zag dominating vertiginous precipices. In the summit of this mountain, the footpath on the brink of madness leads to a concentration of terraces the abyss that were used for cultures of species that were perhaps considered sagradas. Also rest of a temple are observed, which does not certainly know if it is a building that did not get to be finished or that partially was destroyed. Towards the North flank it is the call Temple of the Moon, that is constructed on a geological fault.
