Main ideas
This article is about a place call Choquequirao in Peru. The author introduce us this gorgeous place that its call “the other Machu Picchu” and talks about his experience while he was in this city.
Talks about Topa Inca that is Choquequirao’s builder and how he managed to built this amazing city. This place was visited for almost 6,800 visitors in 2006 but its just 1% of the number who went to Machu Picchu.
Its also talks about the preservation that all the people should do in this kind of places, and the way they live.
Personal Reaction
I went to this places in the north of our country and I think it`s true that we have to take care of this places becouse they are so beautiful that everyone should enjoy them.
Machu Picchu is one of the first places that you think when you talk about Peru but there are lots of places that u can also visit and that can leave you astonish.
In our country we have a similar problem with preservation. We have lots of beautiful places that unfortunatly are in very bad conditions becouse WE don`t take the problem in our hands.
A solution in my opinion it would be to do a campaing to make people aware of the problems that can cause not to preserv our gorgeous places.
