Lo que todo peruano debe saber

“Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio en el Perú” “Mil millones de seres humanos en el mundo viven en extrema pobreza. Más de seis millones, son peruanos. Cada noche se acuestan con hambre porque no les alcanza el dinero para comprar suficiente alimento. En su mundo, sólo conocen privaciones, exclusión y desigualdad. Mejorar las condiciones de vida de esos millones de personas es una responsabilidad compartida por todos. En septiembre del año 2000, el Perú con todos los estados miembros de las Naciones Unidas firmó la Declaración del Milenio con el compromiso de construir un mundo mejor…” Esta producción audiovisual realizada en el 2007 ofrece en pocos minutos una introducción a los ocho Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio y a la situación de cada uno de ellos en el Perú, así como la labor que vienen desempeñando las organizaciones del Sistema de Naciones Unidas para su consecución. El video muestra proyectos y actividades de las Naciones Unidas en las regiones de Piura, Ayacucho, Lima y San Martín. Toamdo de www.onu.org.pe

Sort of the classic view of the main part of the site. However, it’s hard to find an angle from which Machu Picchu doesn’t look incredible.

Machu Picchu: Travel Peru-Travel Video PostCard

Machu Picchu is high in the Andes Mountains of Peru, and Peru is one of South America’s most magnificent and authentic countries. Machu Picchu was once a royal palace built by an Incan ruler. Machu Picchu sits like a mysterious city eight thousand feet above the sea. Peru’s most famous site, Machu Picchu, is more than Peru’s. Machu Picchu is one of the wonders of the world with its two hundred buildings and cloud covered beauty. About twelve hundred people lived in Machu Picchu, and Peru has done an exceptional job of preserving Machu Picchu. Professional Inca architects built Machu Picchu with granite blocks and bronze tools. The Inca architects at Machu Picchu were so advanced that the thinnest of knife blades can’t be forced between the stones. Travelers to Peru, to Machu Picchu climb the steep Inca trail to Machu Picchu. But there is a tourist bus from the town of Aguas Calientes. If you climb Machu Picchu in Peru by foot, don’t forget to stretch when you reach the bottom, Your legs will thank you the next morning. Arrive at Machu Picchu before dawn and don’t be disappointed by the fog. The ruins and surrounding peaks reveal themselves as the fog lifts, and steal your breath away. Peru’s Machu Picchu was discovered in 1911. Machu Picchu is an authentic travel experience

Resolved Question: Can someone please help me rephrase this, i dont quite understand it. please. thank you. 5 points.?
Wright’s study of Machu Picchu’s hydrology and hydraulic engineering led him to conclude that the Incas understood the importance of having drinking water. The surface drainage system generally drove the agricultural and urban storm water runoff away from the water supply canal. Wright also noted that the Inca apparently did not use the fountains for bathing. The emperor, for example, had a bathing room with a separate drain. Therefore, water used for bathing did not re-enter the water supply. In 1998, Wright’s team discovered another, previously unknown series of fountains on the eastern side of the ridge, downhill from Machu Picchu. These fountains received their water not from the channel but from intercepted groundwater drainage. While elaborate spring works were not necessary here, Wright says, “the Inca would have had to identify the groundwater flow locations during dry-weather and concentrate this flow for use in the fountains.” Adjacent to some of the fountains, an important trail, also discovered by Wright’s team, connected Machu Picchu to the Urubamba River, in the valley, at the height of the dense forest. The team restored the water flow to this second series of fountains probably for the first time in 450 years.

Resolved Question: How can “ruins” be “well-preserved”?
“Well-preserved ruins”? Is it just me or does that not make sense? (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inca_road_system) By far the most popular of the Inca trails for trekking is the Capaq Ñan trail, which leads from the village of Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu, the so-called “Lost City of the Incas”. There are many WELL-PRESERVED RUINS along the way, and hundreds of thousands of tourists from around the world make the three- or four-day trek each year, accompanied by guides.
