Machu Picchu is without
doubt the most recognizable symbol of Inca Civilization. "The Inca Trail",
as it is known now, was the Royal Highway that led pilgrims and officials of
the Empire to the Sacred City of the Incas.
What makes the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu so
special is the stunning combination of Inca ruins, incredible views, the
Andes scenery, exotic vegetation and extraordinary ecological variety. Over
250 species of orchid have been counted in the Machu Picchu Historic
Sanctuary, as well as numerous birds such as hummingbirds, waterfowl and the
majestic Andean Condor.
The Maya civilization is a Mesoamerican civilization, noted for the only known fully developed written language of the pre-Columbian Americas, as well as its spectacular art, monumental architecture, and sophisticated mathematical and astronomical systems.
The Olmec were an ancient Pre-Columbian people living in the tropical lowlands of south-central Mexico, in what are roughly the modern-day states of Veracruz and Tabasco.
Their cultural influence, however, extended far beyond this region.
