It was just yesterday we travelled the way down the Urubamba river and reached the village of Aguas Calientes.
In the early morning yesterday, we have been to the most astonishing archeological site we´ve both ever seen.
Machu Picchu was there, silent, five times centenary, waiting the sun light cross the high montains and turn the Urubamba Valley and its hidden city in pure gold.
That´s what we saw, photographed and filmed.

On our second day in La Paz, we took a bus to the village of Copacabana, close to the Bolivian/Peruvian border.
Then we took a boat to the mighty Isla del Sol, located at the heart of the Titicaca lake, the highest navigable lake in the world.
Our interest in the island was the remote incan ruins located at the southern portion.
It was a sacred place since a period earlier than the Inca occupation, back to the Middle Horizon period.

We got to La Paz in western Bolívia and as soon we found a hostel, we got a microbus in the barrio Cementerio.
The very small vehicle filled with dozens of people headed to the town of Tiwanaku in the heart of the Andean Altiplano.
One hour journey from the Bolivian capital to the small village, we found a huge archeological site when got there.
Those ruins are a large complex of temples with unique aspects in the architecture such as canals, tombs and monolyths.
They mark the center of a long gone civilization. The Tiwanaku people lived during the Middle Horizon period and they were (along with the Huari) the most influencial andean civilization before the Incas.
Their mummies have an alien shapped head: an elongated skull produced by techniques applied during early infancy.
The portal del Sol, located in the main building, is the most famous tiwanacota monument for it represents art, architecture and belief in just one huge carved rock.
That's definately a place one should visit in Bolivia.
In the next post we will describe our journey into the Titicaca lake and the isla del sol trekking with ruins and fossils.

I bet you know the film "Jurassic Park", but have you ever heard about the Cretacic Park?
We reached the town of Sucre in Central Bolívia at July 18th. Our goal was to visit the largest vertical dinosaur track site in the world.

We arrived in Santa Cruz in the morning of July 17th.
Our Goal at that moment was to visit the "Museo de História Natural Noel Kempff" and to meet the veteran Bolivian paleontologist, Professor Mário Suarez Riglos.
Prof Mário showed us the vast fossil collection of that institute. Our major interest was the rare dinosaur bones, of course. There are so many fragments and yet one cannot describe precisely a new species.

My wife and I are getting ready to return to the Andes.
This travel is not only going to be a touristic adventure. It will actually be more likely a scientific expediton. Sites of major importance on different fields of Science will be documented in video and photography. Therefore, we hope to post here soon several videocasts and articles regarding this trip .
We'll arive in Santa Cruz de La Sierra, Bolívia, by middle July. The trip inland will cross that country E-W and N-S to reveal the geological, paleontological and archeological richnesses of our contintent. Then, we will go south, throughout the deserts of the Chilean border. We'll cross the Atacama desert and head to the Peruvian frontier to climb again the Andes, pass the Titikaka lake, and finally reach Cuzco. After that, we pretend to spend several days in the Urubamba valley, visiting ancient ruins.
Some of the sites to be visited are: dinosaur ichnological sites in remote Toro Toro State Park, Tiwanaku ruins, the Titikaka lake and surroundings, Uyuni Salt Desert, the Atacama and its ruined city in Chile, Incan ruins in southern Peru, including Machu Picchu, Ollantaibambo, Písaq and Tambomachay.
However, one unfortunate unpredictable aspect happened: I injured my leg at the begining of June, during a Geology field class in the Serra da Mantiqueira region, in Rio de Janeiro. We almost had to cancel the wonderful trip to the Andes because of that, but now we decided to go on. Now I have to take some precautions: no biking, nor climbing this time, unfortunately. But that won't change the quality of this adventure, we hope.
We invite you to come with us, while we post videos and photos all the way during this adventure.
Starting in July 16th, 2012.

INTRODUÇÃO
Todos nós que sonhávamos sermos exploradores
quando criança, assistindo os filmes de Spielberg e George Lucas, ou mesmo
aqueles ainda mais antigos, filmes B de aventura, pois bem, todos nós que
gostamos do gênero tivemos uma fase assim: O que acontece se quando a gente
fica mais velho e somos atingidos com uma tremenda vontade de viver uma
aventura de verdade?
“A Grande Jornada na América do Sul” é uma
série de crônicas reais de uma viagem que realizei em Janeiro de 2010, partindo
da Amazônia Brasileira até os Andes Bolivianos, e depois ao Atacama, no Chile,
os desertos Peruanos, as ruínas Incas aos arredores de Cusco, e de volta a Amazônia,
atravessando a borda Peru/Brasil.
O enfoque foi dado às questões Arqueólogicas
nesses locais, mas também foram observadas e anotadas observações
paleontológicas, ecológicas e geológicas desses fantásticos e tão contrastantes
lugares.

A famosa história foi escrita por Sir Arthur Conan Doyle quase cem anos atrás, o clássico da literatura The Lost World, e tornou-se um marco do cinema nos anos 1920 através da majestosa produção de Willis O’Brien e seus bonecos de dinossauros animados em stop-motion.
