The sanctuary, surrounded by majestic
snow-capped mountains, it is easy to appreciate the
diversity of flora and fauna, it is an attraction for
local people and for tourists.
The Inca architecture was among the finest prehistoric
architecture in the world. Examples can be seen in Cuzco
and Ollantaytambo, and of course here at Machu Picchu.
The building style is characterized by exquisitely cut
masonry, placed together completely without mortar. The
raw material was granite, worked by stone and sand into
irregular shapes that fit together like a gigantic
puzzle. Some stones have as many as thirty facets worked
into the surface, and as a result, the faces of the
stone fit together so tightly that a needle won't fit
between them. Those are only few reasons for visiting
Machu Picchu in a unique experience:
A wonderful combination of creativity art and the
wildness of nature. |
