IllustratedGrrl, no. In spanish we don't use the term " native american" to refer to the local natives,we use the spanish word "indio" which translates as indian.

Player #1137636, Do it. Machu Picchu, Petra, and the Dead Sea are the only places I've been that look even cooler in person than in pictures.

I visited Machu Picchu in 2006 & got some stunning photos, especially of the sun rise. It is an amazing place!

nolongerIbutCHRIST, I am native to America but not an Indian. A better name for the original inhabitants would be indigenous Americans.

Did you know that Macho Picho was built 6 times. They've traced back to orginal layers date back to the 12th century before christ and that one of the oldest structures was a clock to measure time of a 32 month year.

I've also heard a theory that it was a royal vacation spot.

aragogandshelob, I think the author meant Indian as in the now defunct term for Native Americans. Although, if this information came from National Geographic, as the citation states, I can't imagine them still calling them Indians.
