Peru Vacation Packages - Tour to the Sacred Valley of the In
http://www.fertur-travel.com/cusco_tours.html Sacred Valley Tour The Sacred Valley follows the Urubamba river from the market town of Pisac, through the agricultural terraces that were once the engine room of the Inca empire and finishes at Ollantaytambo, an almost untouched Inca town, with an imposing temple looming over the valley. The day starts with a walk through the Pisac markets. The town is swathed in white tarpaulins three days a week, under them stall holders compete to sell traditional artworks and textiles, huge wood fired ovens bake empanadas and guinea pigs, and the central plaza is filled with women selling fresh produce, with dozens of potato and corn varieties on show. On the ridge above, the ruined fortress of Inca Pisac protects the southern end of the Sacred Valley while the Temple of the Sun shows the precision stonework Inca architects reserved for their most important religious buildings. The road through the valley passes through the small towns of Coya, Lamay and Calca, and the larger center of Urubamba, surrounded on all sides by the astonishing andenes the agricultural terraces that fueled the Inca Empire, and gave the Andes mountain range its name. The town Ollantaytambo gives an insight into the Inca way of life, with streets, houses and watercourses that survived the Spanish conquest. The imposing ridge leading up to the stunning views from the Temple of the Sun is a string of gigantic terraces, a fortress strong enough to repel the Spanish. The unfinished temple at the top leaves you wondering how the Incas managed to move enormous rocks around the valley and up its ridges to shape them into precision stone walls by hand.

The gigantic wall that protects the city includes a series of guard posts, a tower built overlooking a sheer cliff and three narrow entrances that forced invaders to enter in single file. The wall reaches a height of 8 meters and extends for more than 600 meters to completely encircle the ruins. The city inside is made entirely of stone, but in a very different architectural style from the Incas, with carvings of human faces and animal figures lining the main entrance passageway. A string of geometric shapes, rhomboid stonework is built into the walls of most buildings.

Travel Agency in Peru - Gocta Waterfall, the third highest i
http://www.fertur-travel.com/chachapoyas_tours.html Gocta Waterfall is known locally as La Chorrera the Spout, and lies in the Amazonas region of Peru. It drops over two stages, a total of 771 meters, and is now considered the third highest waterfall in the world. It was brought to worldwide attention by German researcher Stefan Ziemendorff, in 2006. The falls had been overlooked partly due to their remoteness, but there was another reason why they took so long to get noticed. Locals have always known of its existence but had kept it a secret because they feared myths and legends concerning a blond haired woman, a siren and her snake that guarded the waterfall. Once the discovery made headlines, authorities, local people and the private sector saw an opportunity to strengthen and expand tourism in the Amazonas region, adding another attraction to Kuelap as the main draw cards in northeastern Peru.
