Machu Picchu Hotels

Machu Picchu Hotels.- Overview: Some buildings and cities were never found by the conquistadors or just left alone because of their uninteresting position. This ruins are the most important place that the Spanish never discovered. Officially the American professor Hiram Bingham found this magical place in 1911. Machu Picchu, the sacred city and the Incas became very famous since then, probably one of the most impressive places in the world. Very little information stood the test of time about Machu Picchu. Archeologists found out that the city was a religious place of pilgrimage, constructed in the 15th and the first half of the 16th century and probably never finished. It could be that their work was interrupted by the Spanish invasion or the civil war just before the conquest between Atahualpa and Huascar. The Ruins is divided in two halves, a religious and a residential area with a relative big square in the middle. Approximately 1200 men could live in Machu Picchu and six men were enough to guard the city. Built on a steep mountain and surrounded by sub-tropical rainforest gives every visitor the feeling of being safe and untouchable. Next to the Machu Picchu (old mountain) is the Huayna Picchu (young mountain) and it can be visited. The Inca Trail crossed the whole empire and was described by the writers as the best roads they had ever seen. Although the Incas didn't know how to build stone bridges, their trails constituted one of the best communication systems of their time. Fish from the ocean arrived two hours later in Cusco. Messages and quipus from all over the empire got quick and safe in Cusco. The quipus are a mathematical account system used to administer the empire. A quipu was composed of colored strings and knots. The runners or chasquis ran distances from 200m to 5km, depending on the difficulty of the terrain. Another chasqui took over the message and the goods, similar to the relay race.
