Machu Picchu Peru

Machu Picchu , "Old Peak") is a pre-Columbian 15th-century Inca site located 2,430 metres (7,970 ft)above sea level  Machu Picchu is located in the Cusco Region of Peru, South America. It is situated on a mountain ridge above the    Urubamba Valley in Peru , which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cusco and through which the Urubamba River flows. Most archaeologist believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti  (1438–1472). Often referred to as the "City of the Incas", it is perhaps the most familiar icon of the Inca World.
The Incas started building the "estate" around 1400, but abandoned it as an official site for the Inca rulers a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of what the structures originally looked like. By 1976, thirty percent of Machu Picchu had been restored. The restoration work continues to this day.

Morella Spain(One of the most beautiful villages of Spain)

Morella is an ancient walled city located on a hill-top in the province of Castellon, Valencian Community, Spain. The town is the capital and administrative centre of the comarca of Els Ports, in the historic Maestrat (Maestrazgo) region.

There are traces of settlement by the Iberians, succeeded by the Greeks and Romans, Visigoths and the Moors. From the early 17th century to the Spanish Civil War, the town was often fought over, due to its strategic situation between the Ebro and the coastal plain of Valencia. Morella is part of the Taula del Senia free association of municipalities.
Every six years the citizens celebrate the Sexenni, a commemoration of the town's recovery from the plague in the seventeenth century. Tourism now plays an important part in the local economy, along with agriculture. In the 20th century the town and surrounding area became depopulated, a trend that has only been reversed in the early 21st century. The population of Morella in 2008 was 2,854,having declined from a figure of 7,335 in 1900 ^.
One of the typical gastronomic products of Morella are sweets known as flaons. Local bakeries are also renowned for a number of other traditional pastries and sweets, like mantecados, prepared in the ancient way

Plitvice Lakes - National Park Unesco

Plitvice could be known as the Paradise of the water as it has 16 small lakes and multiple waterfalls and streams. Declared a Natural Park by the authorities of the former Yugoslavia in 1949, the Plitvice Lakes have been recognized by UNESCO as a nature reserve since 1979. 

  

 Waterfalls of Plitvice LakesThe Plitvice park has 30,000 acres of unspoiled nature. If you choose to visit during the week and first thing when the "population" of tourists is lower, the contemplation of the highest waterfall in the park, de76 meter free fall, or beech forests produce an effect of peace we can hardly reach tourists disturbing the silence.Plitvice is mostly beech (75%), pretty little fir and pine. In addition, yellow toads, a handful of lynx, deer andowls, all hidden from peaones dePlitvice.In panels Plitvice park entrance is the most frequent word travertine. It refers to the miracle that makes the moss rock is deposited as lime water and lime.The resulting 16 lakes are baptized according to the legends that have drowned in its waters. One is Lake of the Gypsy, the other that of the grandmother is also the Pastor of the Mile, and closer, the greatest of all, that of the Goats. It has 2.5 kilometers long, a distance more than reasonable to sink the optimism of 30 goats that relied too much on the strength of ice to escape the wolves. More prudently, today it is possible to cross by boat.Under these pools are also gems like the curious crayfish Astacus astacus, the material used to coat his shell limestone becoming more stone. And the Proteus, a rare salamander that lives only through these caves, without eyes and some pigmentation, color all flesh, as God brought the world.Plitvice was, according to old maps, "Devil's Garden". Today has regained its splendor of Eden, despite having become another hell during the war when Serb guerrillas kidnapped the park and even threatened to fly its lakes. Fortunately, the blood does not reach the river. Red has never been a dominant color palette showing the broad waters of Plitvice. The color of these lakes can go from gray Finnish mirror pond until the transparent turquoise Caribbean beach. The water changes color from hour to hour and from shore to shore. Everything depends on a thousand factors, including the amount of minerals and organisms of the deep, rain, moss or angle of light.
