The Lost City
The Inca people built Machu Picchu in about 1450, at a place high in the Andes Mountains. Made from stone. Machu Picchu had 200 buildings, including houses and temples.
Experts believe Machu Picchu was mainly used as a religious center, and normally had a population of about 300. In the winter months (June - August), visitors including royal family members came to Machu Picchu to escape the extreme cold of the capital, Cusco. At these times, the city was filled with over 1,000 people.
For nearly 100 years, Machu Picchu was a busy, peaceful city. Then, in 1532, the Inca people left the city. Machu Picchu, once a city of great strength, was left empty and forgotten for many centuries. Eventually the ancient site was found by an American explorer Hiram Bingham, in 1911.
While Peru wants to encourage people from abroad to visit Machu Picchu, the country is also worried about negative influences of tourism. For this reason, only 500 people are all wed to climb the popular Inca Trail cach day.

I went to a bright warm a small room: a table, a bed, cupboards with books and toys. This is my room. I am here spend most of the time - do classes, reading, playing. My room has its own name: there are books that I needed to learn, developing me as a person. I love to read the encyclopedia to find answers to my questions. In free time I play educational games: chess, polusalto, "NEP". Modern games help kids prepare for adult life, serious problems. Toys are not just bring joy into the lives of children, they create some kind of joyful and good, surprisingly gentle atmosphere. They are a means of understanding the world and children. Year by year I grow, and toys are the same. Initially, they were my loyal assistants and friends, but now I look at them indulgently. Exit carefree childhood, ahead of time to mature.
