The scenery is breathtaking! The leaning house with the 'melted" foundation was pretty amazing too....the "tech' we have lost over time. Thank you for sharing this part of your amazing journey!
Wowww, amazing..on my bucket list... already went to italy, spain and switzerland. Stayed in small towns and villages, explored so much. Machu Picchu is incredible!😊😊❤
Don't think I have seen so many rocks and stones in one place in my life, and I live on a gravel pit, Lol. I love the music you have put in these videos , you do a good job. History piled on history there eh?.
oh yes, another place where there are layers to the history. Some spots have been excavated to show the depth of the stonework on the site. Next week we take a trek off the beaten path to some really interesting finds. Thank you for the feedback and for watching!
It is beautiful, if you need any info before you go feel free to ask. I can give you some tips for some truly amazing little gems there. Thank you for watching!
black butterfly... teaching authenticity, self-acceptance, freedom of mind and spirit... it is not common to see black ones apparently. At 16:08 there is a formation on the ground, can you explain the significance of this. The rock formation above it is massive, huge boulders they have built on top of.. it looks like it's leaning and yet it looks very secure. How did they survive on this mountain, food, crops... ? and what types of jobs fuel this area now? This hike is not for the faint of heart!
Neat meaning with the butterfly, it caught me off guard up there so I stood and watched it for a while. 16:08 is Temple of the Condor. The stones on the ground represent the head of the Andean Condor - when the structures are 'joined' or looked at in a certain way they create the silhouette of the condor taking flight. Best viewed from a step back and with a little imagination. There are multiple names used for the areas up there, the rock formation "The house built on a rock" looks as though it's going to fall over but its been there a very long time. Expert craftmanship. The steps on the mountain were built for agricultural use, they grew crops up there. The steps are designed for water drainage, healthy soil and holding heat from the sunlight. Again, different opinions on how many people could be sustained off the land but this part of Machu Picchu is only a small portion of the overall site. I think the work is primarily focused on tourism now.
In Cuzco there is also Waqrapukara or La Fortaleza de los Cuernos, not well known even by the Peruvians themselves. There are several ways to get there but one is the one that passes through more landscapes, I think that route is usually done without guides and has a part where there is water from the mountains that you can drink.
