Tiwanaku Coordinates: 16°33′17″S 68°40′24″W / 16.55472°S 68.67333°W / -16.55472; -68.67333 Tiwanaku (Spanish: ''Tiahuanaco and Tiahuanacu'') is a Pre-Columbian archaeological site in western Bolivia, South America. It is the capital of an empire that extended into present-day Peru and Chile, flourishing from AD 300 to AD 1000. Tiwanaku is recognized by Andean scholars as one of the most important civilizations prior to the Inca Empire; it was the ritual and administrative capital of a major state power for approximately five hundred years. The site was first recorded in written history by Spanish conquistador Pedro Cieza de León. The name by which Tiwanaku was known to its inhabitants may have been lost as they had no written language.[2][3] Puquina language has been pointed out as the most likely language of Tiwanaku.[4] Cultural development and agriculture[edit] Artificially raised planting mounds are separated by shallow canals filled with water.

Ciudad Perdida A boulder with carved markings, believed to be a map of the area around Ciudad Perdida. View of the central area of the city. Wooden structures once stood on the stone platforms. Ciudad Perdida (Spanish for "Lost City") is the archaeological site of an ancient city in Sierra Nevada, Colombia. It is believed to have been founded about 800 AD, some 650 years earlier than Machu Picchu. Ciudad Perdida was "found" in 1972, when a group of local treasure looters found a series of stone steps rising up the mountainside and followed them to an abandoned city which they named "Green Hell" or "Wide Set". Members of local tribes—the Arhuaco, the Koguis and the Asario—have stated that they visited the site regularly before it was widely discovered, but had kept quiet about it. In 2005, tourist hikes became operational again.

The Best AirTag Alternative for Android Apple AirTags offer an easy and cheap way to track tons of everyday objects. The only problem is they’re locked to Apple products. Android users have several options, but there’s one that stands above the rest. These simple Bluetooth-enabled devices can be attached to things and you can track their location with an app. The Best: Tile Mate Tile is undoubtedly the name most people think of when it comes to Bluetooth trackers, and that’s for good reason. Like AirTags, the Tile Mate uses Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) to connect to your Android phone or tablet. What happens if you’re not in that range? Older Tile models were essentially disposable since the batteries couldn’t be replaced, but that’s no longer the case. The Tile Mate is slightly bigger than an Apple AirTag, but it has a key-ring hole so you don’t need any extra accessories to clip it to something. For $3 per month, you can subscribe to “Tile Premium” for some additional features. Best for Android Honorable Mention: Chipolo ONE

2023 | Unlocked | Made for US 8/256 | 32 MPCamera |Black : Cell Phones & Accessories Inca Trail to Machu Picchu Much of the trail is of original Incan construction The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu (also known as Camino Inca or Camino Inka) consists of three overlapping trails: Mollepata, Classic, and One Day. Mollepata is the longest of the three routes with the highest mountain pass and intersects with the Classic route before crossing Warmiwañusqa ("dead woman"). Located in the Andes mountain range, the trail passes through several types of Andean environments including cloud forest and alpine tundra. Settlements, tunnels, and many Incan ruins are located along the trail before ending the terminus at the Sun Gate on Machu Picchu mountain. Concern about overuse leading to erosion has led the Peruvian government to place a limit on the number of people who may hike this trail per season, and to sharply limit the companies that can provide guides. The trail is closed every February for cleaning. Classic trail[edit] Patallacta viewed from above Inca Trail cloud forest Phuyupatamarka ruins Intipata

Quito Quito (/ˈkito/; officiellt spanskt namn: San Francisco de Quito) är huvudstad i Ecuador. Quito ligger omkring 25 kilometer söder om ekvatorn. På grund av stadens höga läge och närheten till ekvatorn har Quito ett milt klimat året runt. Under förcolumbiansk tid var staden centrum för kungariket Quitu och huvudort för Carafolket (1000-talet). 1978 utsåg världsarvskommittén de första tolv världsarven varav Quitos koloniala centrum är ett. Historia[redigera | redigera wikitext] Förspansk tid[redigera | redigera wikitext] Quitos historia går tillbaka till det första årtusendet då nomadiska stammar flyttade till området och byggde ett kommersiellt centrum i Quitos nuvarande läge. Kolonisering[redigera | redigera wikitext] Spanjorerna etablerade snabbt den katolska religionen i Quito, med det första templet, El Belén, som byggdes innan staden officiellt hade grundats.

Cusco Namnet Cusco (Quechua Qusqu) betyder navel på inkaspråket quechua. Historia[redigera | redigera wikitext] Cusco var huvudstad och kulturellt och religiöst centrum för Inkariket. Dess mest betydande byggnad var Solens tempel (Inti-Huasi) som låg på tempelområdet Coricancha. Från detta tempel strålade avgränsningarna ut för de fyra delarna i riket Tawantinsuyu eller de fyra rikenas land, som Peru då kallades. Cusco hade uppifrån sett formen av en puma, där befästningen Sacsayhuamán utgjorde huvudet. Sevärdheter[redigera | redigera wikitext] I nordvästra hörnet ligger befästningen Sacsayhuamán. Från Cusco går tåg eller buss/tåg via Ollantaytambo till Aguas Calientes och den gamla inkastaden Machu Picchu, som är Sydamerikas utan jämförelse mest besökta turistmål.

Sistema Sac Actun Sistema Sac Actun (from Spanish and Yucatec Maya meaning "White Cave System") is an underwater cave system situated along the Caribbean coast of the Yucatán Peninsula with passages to the north and west of the village of Tulum. Exploration started from Gran Cenote 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) west of Tulum. The whole of the explored cave system lies within the Municipality of Tulum (state of Quintana Roo). In early 2007, the underwater cave Sistema Nohoch Nah Chich was connected into and subsumed into Sac Actun making it the longest surveyed underwater cave system in the world[3] for some months.
