for a long time you have known the importance of experiences on a trip, that each

experience brings an anecdote or a memory that will be marked for life and that is one of the

qualities which we encourage you to travel and visit surprising places, for Example: Mexico,

Peru, Colombia. That is why it is important to combine your passion and your knowledge in

order to acquire information about cultures, languages and much more. I’ve had the

opportunity to know many places both in Colombia and outside the country and from each

place I learn cultures, languages from which I always get anecdotes or experiences to tell, I

managed to visit 2 of the 7 wonders of the world which are Chichén Itzá, in Mexico and

Machu Picchu, in Cuzco, Peru. First, Chichén Itzá is known for its incredible architecture,

you can see pyramids, sculptures, and you can also see a show which is known as the

reflection of Kukulcán where through the rays of the sun on the staircase it is formed the

body of a snake and this only occurs for the time of March. This tour is for all kinds of people

regardless of age. Second, Machu Picchu is known for the route that is taken to reach this

incredible city and for its architecture. The difference between these two places is that

Machu Picchu's entrance is limited, by this I mean, there is only a number of people who

manage to enter and they have to be people who are in good shape. For this reason it is

recommended to visit Chichén Itzá since here all kinds of people can enter and have an

adequate route.
