Many spectacular vacation destinations are historical sites and locations that host incredible wonders of nature. South America is a land that has an abundance of both and travel packages that increase the fun and adventure by combining two or more site stops in one deal. A lot of Machu Picchu Iguazu Falls tours patrons have described the experience as something quite magical.
In the hills that overlook the Urabamba Valley of Peru, more than 7,000 feet above the sea, set the fifteenth century remains of an ancient Incan city. Until its discovery in 1911, the existence of this incredible find was hidden from the outside world. Today, it is listed among the most popular destinations for tourists and is probably the best known icon representing the formidable Inca people.
Hidden and untouched by the Spanish invaders and protected by the UNESCO and the Peruvian Historical Society, the site is relatively intact and culturally significant. Preservation and reconstructive projects have been done on most of the buildings so that visitors are given an accurate idea of how it originally appeared. The number of people permitted onto the grounds and the famous trail leading to it, is strictly regulated to limit potential damages.
The site is most well known for its main structures, the Inti Watana, the Room of the Three Windows and the Temple of the Sun. The buildings are separated by function, agricultural, urban or religious, and placed in a way to best utilize the natural layout of the land. From the crest, the view is awe inspiring and the complex blends seamlessly with the environment.
The second half of this combo package is an incredible wonder of nature that makes the spot where Brazil and Argentina touch, truly amazing. Perhaps one of South America's most breathtaking scenic pleasures, the contrast between crystalline water and lush green jungle is stunning. It takes more than 250 waterfalls of different widths and heights, working together to create this masterpiece.
In comparison to the impressive waterfalls of Niagara, these South American beauties are taller and more than double the width of their North American sisters. The majority of the cascades are located on the Argentine side which provides a spectacular view for those standing in Brazil. As the water from the cliffs comes crashing into that waiting in the river, a haunting mist rises high into the jungle canopy.
There are multiple ways for visitors to get great views of this phenomena. Some like to choose one of the five paved pathways for a casual walk, while others prefer to ride the trains that travel the great span. Most will agree that in order to get the most up close and personal experience, a boat excursion that actually goes under the cascading curtains is the best option.
Visiting the ruins of an ancient civilization and the South American water spectacular, will make for a truly memorable vacation. A trip back in history and a breathtaking commune with nature's magnificence are well worth the time and travel. Plenty of enjoyable activities will be planned and time will be available to get a taste of all the unique cultures of Peru, Argentina and Brazil.
