Peru History to help you when visiting

In my capacity as a blogger, one of my responsibilities is to ensure that all people have the best possible tourist experience, so here are some interesting facts about Peruvian history that I hope will enhance your trip.

Incas history

Who were the Incas? They were natives of South America who in their day ruled one of the largest and richest states in the Americas. Everything that is known about them today is revealed in the oral tradition, the remnants of their traditions, such as stones, pottery, gold and silver jewelry, and the weaving of human paintings.

The Incas did not develop a written language that made it possible for them to control and control such a vast area. The Incas ruled the people from hundreds of different ethnic groups who spoke their own language. They have managed to maintain control by developing sophisticated methods of organizing their community. They realized that by retaining a large army, and by establishing more advanced agricultural, construction and engineering methods they could be a spectacular presence.

The most important inventions by the Incas were the intricate design of stone roads and the numerous bridges they built to link all parts of the world.

Inca Empire Road System

Everyone who conquered the Incas was obliged to learn and speak their own language, so having a common language certainly made communication easier in the Inca empire.

First of all the Inca road system deserves to be mentioned as it is the most comprehensive system in pre-Columbia. It is astonishing to think that the Incas formed a 14,000-mile [14,000 km] road system, some of which cut through the Andes Mountains and reached a height of 5,000 feet [16,500 m] above sea level. Considering the evidence that the Incas did not use a wheelchair to travel and did not own horses until the 16th century, it is surprising that these routes were used for mere walking (cargo) or running (as it were). how to convey messages).

Accommodations 

To provide rest and food, there were about 2,000 bedrooms, set up at convenient times on the streets. The inns also provided animal corrals, usually llamas, to rest and complete the preparations for their next trip. The Incas built rope bridges to reach the valleys. food, shelter and military supplies for tens of thousands of road users. In Cuzco, the city of the Incas, the canals meet at the center of the empire.

Machu Picchu

Inca route to Machu Picchu. The Capaq Nan route is the most famous Inca route leading to Ollantaytambo village and Machu Picchu, the "Lost Inca City". There are also many well-preserved ruins along the way and that along with the Andes Mountains and parts of the Amazonian rain forest makes the whole experience very magical. You will meet the ‘Sun Gate’ and enter Machu Picchu your reward after your amazing journey. The Inca Empire reached its peak about 1450 with the construction of Machu Picchu. The story goes that under the Spanish conquest the empire fell and Machu Picchu was left less than 100 years later.

The Spaniards were unable to find Machu Picchu, and because the forest reclaimed it, it was preserved, as were many other Inca lands. Very few knew about its existence and the empire was restored to the world imagination in 1911 by the Yale historian and explorer Hiram.
