  • Climb the Highest Mountain in Africa…
    Trek the ancient Inca Trail in Peru to… Machu Picchu …for a trip of a life time! – 2022 Trip outline The Inca Trail is Peru's best known hike, combining a stunning combination of Inca ruins, magnificent mountains and exotic vegetation. The trail goes over high mountain passes with unforgettable views, through the rainforest, and finally into subtropical vegetation. The legendary Inca Trail takes you through the diverse wilderness of the Machu Picchu Historical Sanctuary, passing numerous Inca ruins on the magnificent stone highway before descending to the famed citadel of Machu Picchu. The 45 km trek is covered in 4 days, arriving at Machu Picchu at daybreak on the final day before returning to Cusco by train in the afternoon. The trek is rated moderate and any reasonably fit person will be able to cover the route. It is fairly challenging nevertheless, you will be carrying your own personal equipment (porters carry group equipment including tents, stoves and food etc…) and altitudes of 4200m are reached. We allow 2 full days in Cusco prior to commencing the trek in order to help you acclimatize sufficiently and give you an opportunity to visit the city of Cusco and near by Inka ruins at Sacsayhuaman, Q'enko, Pucapucara and Tambomachay. Your trip departs from London Heathrow where you’ll fly to Lima or Bogota (depending on flight arrangements) and onward to Cusco (Peru). The Amaru Hotel or similar (3/4 star) will be your base for the next few days while you acclimatise to Peru’s high altitude and prepare for the Inca trek ahead.

  • Framing Machu Picchu: Science, Photography and the Making of Heritage
    FRAMING MACHU PICCHU: SCIENCE, PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE MAKING OF HERITAGE By AMY ELIZABETH COX A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2010 1 © 2010 Amy Elizabeth Cox 2 To Kirk 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Research for this study was made possible by a doctoral dissertation improvement grant from the National Science Foundation’s Science and Society section and from Fulbright’s Institute for International Education. Preliminary research was conducted thanks to the generous funding from the University of Florida’s Center for Latin American Studies. Their encouragement and support through grants like the William E. Carter summer fellowship, Tinker travel grant and foreign language area studies grant, kept me motivated and exploring. My deep gratitude goes to those institutions and their staff. Many, many people have been involved in this research. First, I would like to thank all those individuals who shared their thoughts and ideas through interviews and more informal conversations. In particular, I owe an immense debt of gratitude to the members of COLITUR in Cuzco, Peru. From a professional standpoint, not only did COLITUR allow me to interview study participants in their offices, but I also participated in their new venture which encouraged the Cuzco’s local population to visit their own touristic sites. I spent two days in the pueblo of Lares with a group of “tour guides to be” and attended the Cruz Velacuy, a pilgrimage to various crosses in the town of Cuzco. Encouraging Cuzco’s population to visit the region’s attractions was a noble effort by COLITUR’s director to make tourism more equitable.

  • Arqueología Inca
    Arqueología Inca Autores Dr. Juan Antonio Belmonte. Astrónomo del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias. Sr. Miguel Ángel Pío Jiménez. Astrónomo del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias. Dr. Miquel Serra-Ricart. Astrónomo del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias. Sr. Juan Carlos Casado. Astrofotógrafo tierrayestrellas.com, Barcelona.1 – Objetivos de la actividad Mediante esta actividad se pretende dar a conocer lo que fueron las culturas precolombinas, centrándonos en la civilización inca, dando algunas nociones de su cultura y fundamentalmente de sus conocimientos en los campos de la matemática y la astronomía. Para ello seguiremos la travesía de la expedición al Cusco del grupo de astrónomos dentro del proyecto GLORIA que, con motivo del eclipse total de Luna de Abril del 2014, se desplazarán a esas tierras. Los objetivos que se pretenden alcanzar son los siguientes: – Reconocer en el continente sudamericano, las diferentes culturas que se encontraban en él antes de la llegada de los Europeos, y un poco más en profundidad, conocer a la cultura inca, centrándonos en los conocimientos que adquirieron en las ramas de las matemáticas y la astronomía. – Inculcar el respeto y la comprensión de otras culturas y razas, algunas de ellas ya extintas. 2 – Instrumentación 2.1 El imperio de los Incas Los Incas constituyeron un estado centralizado situado en América del Sur, el último y más avanzado de los denominados “imperios” precolombinos. A su territorio se le denominó Tahuantinsuyo (del quechua Tawantin Suyu «las cuatro regiones o divisiones»). Su periodo de mayor esplendor en la zona andina fue entre los siglos XV y XVI, coincidiendo con el apogeo de la civilización inca, llegando a abarcar cerca de 2 millones de km2 entre el océano Pacífico y la selva amazónica, desde cerca de San Juan de Pasto al norte y hasta el río Maule en el sur.
