"The most well-known symbol of the Inca Empire is Machu Picchu, a 15th-century Inca citadel situated 2,430 meters (7,970 feet) above sea level on a mountain crest in southern Peru's Eastern Cordillera. It is situated 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of Cusco in the Machupicchu District of the Urubamba Province, above the Sacred Valley. By slicing through the Cordillera and forming a canyon with a subtropical mountain climate, the Urubamba River flows past it. In 1982 and 1983, respectively, Machu Picchu was designated a Peruvian Historic Sanctuary and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.In a global online survey conducted in 2007, Machu Picchu was selected as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. From the late 16th century until the 19th century, no Europeans are known to have visited the site after the first encounter by the Spanish soldier Baltasar Ocampo. The Inca society lacked a written language. To the best of our knowledge, there are no written documents that describe the location when it was in use. The most popular theory holds that Incan royalty used Machu Picchu as a private city. Based on tangible evidence, such as tombs at the site, modern archaeologists have come up with names for the buildings, their purported purposes, and their occupants. Machu Picchu was constructed with polished dry-stone walls in the traditional Inca style. The Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Three Windows, and the Intihuatana are its three main buildings.

Maasai Mara, frequently spelled Masai Mara, and referred to locals as just "The Mara," is a sizable national game reserve in Kenya's Narok County that borders Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. The Maasai people, the region's original occupants who came from the Nile Basin, are honored by the name. From a distance, their description of the region is as follows: "Mara" means "spotted" in the Maa language due to the short, bushy trees that are scattered throughout the terrain. With its populations of lions, leopards, cheetahs, and African bush elephants, the Maasai Mara is one of Africa's wilderness and wildlife protection areas. In addition, it is home to the Great Migration, which has earned it a spot among the ten Wonders of the World and the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. Depending on the weather, the Great Migration often takes place in July when a huge number of wildebeest migrate from Tanzania across the Mara River. The Maasai Mara National Reserve, the Mara Triangle, a number of Maasai group ranches, and Maasai Mara conservancies are all included in the Greater Mara ecosystem. The Masai Mara, sometimes referred to as "the world's eight world wonders" or one of the most well-known wildlife places in the world, is home to an abundance of species, breathtaking views, and unending plains.The Masai Mara National Reserve, an unfenced reserve with unrestricted wildlife movement, and a number of conservancies comprise the Greater Masai Mara area. Maasai families privately own these parcels of land. The Maasai families who lease their property to safari lodges have the opportunity to use the money they make from the conservancies to fund development or education projects in their communities. The Masai Mara was called in honour of the Maasai people, the traditional residents of the area. 'Mara' means'spotted' in Maasai (Maa) dialect. It won't be difficult to comprehend how the Masai Mara gained its name after visiting. The terrain does appear somewhat'spotted' due to the small, bushy trees that dot it. The environment of the Greater Masai Mara is enormous. It is almost 1510 square kilometers in size. The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is adjacent to the Maasai Mara, a sizable game reserve in Narok County, Kenya. It is named after the Maasai people, who were the original occupants of the region, and how they described it from a distance: "Mara" means "spotted" in the Maasai language, referring to the numerous trees, plants, cloud shadows, and animals that dotted the terrain.
