6 . This beautiful, quiet place is covered in sunshine and has mountains all around it. Its name is Machu Picchu. It lies on top of a mountain, 8,000 feet in the tropical forest. Even in the rain and fog, it’s wonderful to walk through the ruins (废墟).
Machu Picchu is more than 500 years old. According to scholars, Machu Picchu was built for the Inca king around 1450. In the late 1800s, explorers like Antonio crossed the grounds of the ruins without knowing where he was. Machu Picchu became known to the world upon the 1911 arrival of Hiram Bingham. In 1983, Machu Picchu was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Machu Picchu is considered by many to be the most wonderful creation of the Inca Empire. It’s also full of cultural significance (意义). Its various sites and castles are connected with each other and with their environment. This is a great artistic achievement and also masterpiece of architecture. Everything is cultural and is related to each other, including the natural environment in which it is built.
Currently, Machu Picchu is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the New World; this promotes increased tourism in the area. Tourists of all nationalities travel to Peru with the intention of visiting the Lost City of the Incas. Machu Picchu is no longer quiet.
Some people in Peru hope that more tourists will come here. They think it will mean more business and money for the country. However, some worry that more visitors won’t be good for the environment. The truth is that parts of Peru are very poor, and tourists bring money to these communities. The lost city is no longer lost. The modern world is coming closer to this ancient world every day.
