Entry #6: Peru

A few years ago, some of my friends in high school and I became really interested in the wonders of the world. We were uncertain about all of the different destinations and one in particular really caught our eyes, Machu Picchu. Not only is this attraction very historical,  it is possibly also getting closed to the public. 

Machu Picchu was home to the Inca in the 15th century. The Inca built their city high in the mountains in Peru which wasn't seen by people at the foot of the mountain. The city was built with the material extracted from the plateau which the city was constructed on. 

I really want to go visit Peru for many reasons but the greatest would be to visit Machu Picchu. I have not had the chance to visit any of the wonders of the world, the modern or the original. I also wish to travel to Peru to have the opportunity to volunteer with the orphaned children, to help conserve the rainforest and to help construct homes and schools for the people in need. Even if I don't have the chance to go to Machu Piccu, I sure hope I can visit Peru to help the local people who deserve the life that I have been offered!

I also can't forget to mention all the amazing other attractions to visit! There are so many other attractions involving ancient ruins and chances to see the lives of those in the past. There are so many monuments, cities and museums which are filled with so much information that I wish I could go and visit them all. With all the history, I can still go enjoy the ocean as the water is apparently very beautiful and has lovely waves.
