One more time, Machu Picchu is making headlines around the world! A recent study made by Sony Mobile among Instagram users found that the Inca citadel is the most photographed destination in South America!
The study conducted by Sony Mobile ranked the 30 most photographed places in the world and posted on the social network Instagram; no surprise, the Eiffel Tower is at number 1, with more than 4 and a half million pictures. However, the Inca citadel ranked at number 12 worldwide and at an amazing number 1 in South America, with 745.716 pictures on the popular social media, which makes it its most photographed destination.
Another conclusions of the survey are that about 50% of potential travelers choose their destinations based on pictures taken by tourists, and that 45% of people looking for their next travel destination browse Instagram’s pictures in order to pick the right place.
Machu Picchu architecture is a must see!
Of course one of the reasons Machu Picchu being the most photographed destination in South America is the site’s staggering beauty: the citadel is placed at the foot of brother mountains (the Machu Picchu and the Huayna Picchu), which are located in the middle of a subtropical valley of breathtaking sight, made of large, majestic green mountains surrounded by vivid white clouds, with big condors flying high above and free llamas (Andean camelids) walking around chewing leaves and being looked at by thrilled tourists. Machu Picchu is the top postcard in South America also because of its wonderful design, a carefully planned retreat built for Inca royalty in times of the powerful emperor Pachacutec, who started the Inca expansion, which began from the small valley of Cusco until reaching today’s Ecuador, north of Chile and western Argentina!
You can find all kinds of visitors who take pictures in Machu Picchu: solo travelers, couples, families, large groups, all of them don’t want to let such a wonderful opportunity pass, for a lifetime memory of one of the most rewarding tours worldwide. Machu Picchu’s success also vouches for the top quality of Peruvian tour operators: tourists reach the Inca citadel after a really comfortable, caring and efficient journey from wherever they had been before in Cusco or other places in Peru.
