Destination 1

I love to travel. But I don't have money to cover up all the expenses for a trip. But anyhow, I will be posting here places I really wanted to visit. These are places that somehow caught my attention. Maybe I saw a film about them or read about it somewhere. Basta these are the places I want to go before I die.

First Stop:


Destination 1 is Machu Picchu in Peru.

It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. Machu Picchu is sometimes referred to "Lost City of the Incas". It was built in 1450 and was abandoned a hundred years later when Spain conquered Peru. It was discovered again in 1911 by an American historian.

It is a city built on top of a mountain, so the area is very much untouched my modern society. Aside from its historical significance, I want to go there because it is also surrounded by nature. It is a historical place situated on top of a mountain. I guess it is a great place to reflect and relax.

Machu Picchu is very far from the Philippines, but I really hope I can visit this extraordinary place.
