AARI Art & Life

Machu Pichu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World (1), is the top priority to see in Latin America. Two Inca ruins in Peru are in the World Natural and Cultural Heritage List. They are the ancient capital of Cusco, "the capital of the world's Indians," and Machu Picchu, known as the "city in the sky." In the middle of the 16th century, when Peru became a Spanish colony, a folk tradition had handed down: in the vast Andes, there was a mysterious ancient Inca city.

Just as Falak was about to say something, drowsiness struck him that he couldn't open his eyes. In the dimness, he felt his body gradually float up, swimming in the clouds.
