SECTOR HANAN IN THE MOUNTAIN OF MACHU PICCHU TOURS – PERU TRAVEL:
The mountain of Machu Picchu has a sector composed of a set of works related to the attention to those who came to the Inka city of Machu Picchu tours, ie a “vestibular area” stables for animals, workshops, kitchens and rooms in the mountains of machupicchu. All this on the east side of the Inka road, in a succession of parallel streets that go down the slope of the Inca mountain. The most important construction, the vestibular building, had two floors and several accesses to the Machu Picchu Inca citadel. On the left hand side of the entrance inka road there are lower-ranking rooms that would be related to work in the quarries, located in the vicinity of this sector of machu picchu tours. All the constructions are of common rigging and many of them were plastered and painted among the most representative: the Temple of the Sun, the Royal Residence, the Sacred Plaza and the Intihuatana or solar clock in the mountain of Machu Picchu.
URIN SECTOR BY THE MACHU PICCHU MOUNTAIN TOURS – PERU TRAVEL:
In Machu Picchu tours this sector is composed of various architectural groups such as: the sacred Rock inka, the Group of the three covers, the Group of the mortars, the group of the condor, Stairway of the fountains in the mountain of Machu Picchu tours.
INKA ARCHITECTURE OF MACHU PICCHU BY TRAIN:
Trips by train to Machu Picchu where you will see a developed hydraulic engineering and high level flooring considering machupicchu to the stone city built on top of an “isthmus” between two mountains and between two geological faults, in a region subject to constant earthquakes and, above all, copious rains throughout the year is a challenge for any builder, a trip to Machu Picchu by train: It is believed that the secret of Machu Picchu’s longevity is its drainage system. In effect, the soil of its non-roofed areas is provided with a drainage system consisting of layers of gravel (crushed stones) and rocks to prevent the rain water from being poured into the city of Machu Picchu.
Trips to Machu Picchu by train where you will see that it has more than 100 drainage channels that extend throughout the urban area, designed to avoid splashing and erosion, leading most of it to the “moat” that separates the urban from the agricultural area, which was actually the main drainage of the Machupicchu city. It is estimated that 60% of the construction effort of Machu Picchu mountain was in making the foundations on terraces filled with gravel for a good drainage of surplus waters (visit tours to Machu Picchu 1 day).
There is solid evidence that the builders took into account astronomical and ritual criteria for the Inca construction of the Machu Picchu mountain. All conserved constructions are whitish granite, composed 60% by feldspar, 30% by quartz and 10% by mica. All the material came from the quarries located in the contours of the Inca complex. The stone has between 6 to 7 degrees of hardness on the Mohs scale. In Inca times this was worked with jumpers and other bronze tools (iron tools were not used in ancient Peru) and hammers of harder stones. The stones were smoothed by abrasion with sand and stone (perform a machu picchu tours 2 days by train).
Almost all buildings are rectangular in Machu Picchu. There are one, two and even eight Inka doors, usually on only one of the long sides of the rectangle. There are few curved and circular plant constructions in the Machu Picchu mountain. Constructions called huayranas are frequent. These have only three walls. In these cases, in the space of the “missing wall” there is sometimes a stone colonnade to support a wooden beam that served as support for the Inka ceiling. There are also double huayranas, two huayranas joined by a dividing wall, which is called masmas (explore a machu picchu tours 1 day by train). The constructions usually follow the scheme of the courts, that is to say four rectangular constructions arranged around a central patio joined by an axis of transversal symmetry. To this patio they give all the doors (tour sacred valley + mountain machu picchu 2 days).
The mountain of Machu Picchu has the layout of the stone walls was basically of two types: A common stone joined with mud mortar and other substances. There is evidence that these constructions, which are the majority in Machu Picchu mountain, were plastered with a layer of clay and painted (in yellow and red at least – travel by train to Machupicchu), although the early disintegration of the roofs made them vulnerable to permanent rain in the area and therefore have not been preserved, and finely carved stone in the elite constructions (tours machu picchu by train 1 day).
In Machu Picchu are blocks of granite, without plaster and perfectly carved in the form of rectangular prisms (parallelepipeds, like bricks) or polygonal. Their outer faces could be padded, that is, protruding, or perfectly smooth. In these cases, the union of the blocks seems perfect and has made us suppose that it does not have any type of mortar; but in fact it does, it is a thin layer of binder material that is between stone and stone although it is invisible from the outside (trips to Peru to get to know Machu Picchu magico).
There existed in machu picchu tours an effort of these realizations in a society without tools of iron (they only knew the bronze, much softer) is remarkable (tour mountain huaynapicchu). No original roof has been preserved, but there is consensus that most of the buildings had roofs with two or four roofs, there was even a conical roof over the “Inca tower” (Huayna Picchu mountain is located to the north of the Inca city Machu Picchu climb the mountain from Machu Picchu takes between 45 to 60 minutes of walking depending on the physical condition of the person, The view is really impressive, highly recommended a trip to Machu Picchu + Huayna Picchu mountain 1 day or 2 days by train); and was formed a frame of alder logs moored and covered by layers of ichu (mountain tour machu picchu by train 2 days). The fragility of this type of straw and the copiousness of the rains in the region made it necessary for these roofs to have great inclinations of up to 63º (trips to Peru by train). Thus the height of the roofs often doubled the height of the rest of the building (tour sacred valley of the Incas + mountain Machu Picchu 1 day by train).
As is typical of Inca Machupicchu architecture, most of the covers, windows and niches (called false windows, niches or cupboards) have a trapezoidal shape, wider at the base than in the lintel (amazing machupicchu). The lintels could be made of wood or stone, often from a single large block. The covers of the most important enclosures were of double beam and in some cases they included an internal closing mechanism (tour to the door of the sun in Machu Picchu 1 day – Pachacamac Archaeological Sanctuary).
Machupicchu tours exist in the interior walls of most of the buildings have trapezoidal niches, next to the windows (tour peru 2 days). Cylindrical or rectangular blocks often protrude from the walls like large hangers, arranged symmetrically with the niches or niches and windows, when there are (sacred valley tour + machu picchu mountain huaynapicchu 2 days by train).
STRATEGIC LOCATION AND BIDOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF MACHU PICCHU TOURS PERU:
Trekking Choquequirao word from the Aymara Chuqi, gold, and Quechua K’iraw, cradle, that is to say “Cradle of Gold”; called by many archaeologists as the “Sacred Sister of Machu Picchu” for the structural and architectural similarity with this. Low mountains area with beautiful landscape towards the river slope Blanco and the Apurímac Canyon. In the distance, you can see a circuit of fabulous snowfalls, including Salqantay, Pumasillo and Ampay. This complex is located at 3104.14 masl, with latitude south of 13º32`and longitude West 72º44` (hike inca classic road to Machu Picchu 4 days).
Trek Choquequirao is developed on a wide Andean plateau, between the provinces of La Convención, in the valley of Vilcabamba extending to the province of Anta, both provinces in Cusco uniting with the province of Abancay, department of Apurimac (trek to salkantay machu picchu 5 days)
The environment of Choquequirao trekking is one of the richest in biodiversity that goes from the steppe mountain range through the dry valley and tall forests ending in the cold of the puna. All the species that inhabit the area, have been conditioned despite the temperature variations as it is sun throughout the day and inclement frosts during the night (walk to the mountain of colors – vinicunca 1 day).
The fauna of the place is composed mainly of condors, tarucas, vizcachas, foxes, skunks, pumas, hummingbirds, bears and the cock of the rocks, considered national bird of Peru. In its flora, giant ferns, ichu and a great variety of orchids stand out, where the wakanki variety stands out (travel packages to wonderful Peru).
