Have you checked in at Machu Picchu yet?

The first time I learned about the Inca civilization was when I was a child watching "The Hare Brothers". One episode was about the ancient Inca country. The mysterious murals in the valley were accompanied by weird and terrifying music, which scared me and left a deep psychological shadow. . Now I come to Machu Picchu, the best preserved ancient city of Inca civilization. When the morning mist slowly dissipates and the ancient city that has been lost for 400 years appears on the top of the mountain, it is still shocking. Machu Picchu is located on a mountain top at an altitude of about 2,430 meters Until 1911, it was discovered by American archaeologist Hiran Bingham that it had been hidden in the mountains and forests This also allowed it to escape the destruction of the Spanish conquerors The entire site has almost 140 buildings including temples, shelters, parks and residential areas. More than 100 steps have been built here. Each step is carved out of a huge granite. These huge stones are precisely cut and assembled to build various spectacular buildings such as the Temple of the Sun, the Palace and the Farmland. The discovery of Machu Picchu also represents the peak moment of Inca civilization. Its existence is a testament to the glorious history of the Inca Empire. It allows modern people to have a deeper understanding of Inca culture and history, but there are also many mysteries here.
