Hello, everyone. Welcome to our tour of Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu is an ancient city here in Peru, and the name “Machu Picchu” actually means “old peak” in Quechua, one of the languages spoken in Peru. The name was given because of Machu Picchu’s unique location on the peak of a mountain. And because of its mountain location, some people consider Machu Picchu to be one of the most beautiful cities ever built. Machu Picchu is also known as the lost city of the Incas. The Incas were an ancient civilization that lived here in Peru hundreds of years ago. They built Machu Picchu back in 1462. Today, the place is empty because archeologists believe everyone who lived here died of a disease called smallpox. But don’t worry. There is no danger of that disease here anymore.

Sue: Hey, Won! How was your trip to Brazil last month?

Won: It was great, Sue. My family and I went to Rio de Janeiro.

Sue: Oh! I went there two years ago. What did you see in the city?

Won: We went to Lapa, the Christ Statue, and Copacabana Beach. What did you see?

Sue: We went to Ipanema Beach, Sugar Loaf Mountain, and Santa Theresa. Did you do any special activities while you were there?

Won: Yep! We went hang gliding and bike riding during the day, and we danced samba at night. It was really cool! How about you, Sue?

Sue: We went surfing and swimming during the day, and we ate delicious steaks at night. The meat there is incredible! Will you visit again someday?

Won: I sure hope so! Brazil is probably my favorite country in the world! How about you?

Sue: I had a lot of fun, but I probably won’t go back. Next year, my family and I are going to Australia instead.
