Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has inspired historians, archaeologists and tourists. This mountain citadel was constructed c500 years ago by the Inca, as part of an empire that stretched across west-central South America, which is now made up of six countries.
This site, also called the high jungle, is located in the depths of a cloud forest (also known as high jungle), its walls, terraces and staircases perfectly meshing within the mountain. The central buildings display mastery of Inca masonry skills, stones are perfectly cut and stacked with special care not to need mortar — the Temple of the Sun, for example, is built so that light enters the main room on both the summer and winter solstices, its curved structure allowing light to enter on the correct dates.
And this is why Machu Picchu is still beautiful against all the odds: earthquakes, the ravages of rain and climate, the crude erosion of human traffic, despite all the negative human impositions that got there before him. The Incas applied their ingenuity in site selection best practices, building standards and technology, in city planning, food growing, astronomy and astrology – and the results are still within reach for us today.

Especially if you’re looking to give slots a try, the beguiling world of online gaming is where it’s at. A casino floor is daunting for the novice; by comparison, playing at home is infinitely more private and comfortable. And while I’ve casually dabbled in slots both online and off, I’ve discovered they can also be a lot more fun if you plug in your laptop, join a mute demographic-alert session on Overit, and play the same slot multiple times. Without a smarmy live dealer anywhere close, your fingers can dance from game to game, the animated columns popping at the whirl of your mouse, neat, unencumbered by the messy presence of another human. And the other thing – online casinos list the playline for every game, along with a pay table that will show you what percentage the game pays out. That’s a handy thing if you’re comparing, say, Double Diamond and Triple Diamonds, which sometimes pay out at different rates.
The classic 3-reel slots continue to be popular, but the newer video slots take entertainment to new levels with up to 5 or 9 reels and 9 or more paylines. You can play games that give you as many as 1,024 ways of winning; or games that offer second-screen bonus rounds in which you choose tiles with cash prizes or a jackpot; or Hold and Spin bonus games that provide you with a spin every time you hit one during which all of your symbols are replaced at random. It can be easy to teach yourself how to play the games – here are some tips. There are some that are hotter than others. Look for the ones that pay back the most, and avoid the ones that don’t pay.
