  1. Bonjour (Hello) Millah!

    Your presentation for this activity is really cool. I like the bright background colours, they match really well. I do agree I do think Machu Picchu could be a beautiful city again. I would like to go and see the Machu Picchu before it was damaged like it is now.

    This reminded me of when I did this activity for the summer learning journey. Maybe next time you could add some facts about Machu Picchu, so people reading your post could learn a tiny bit more about Machu Picchu.

    Did you find this summer learning journey activity fun?
    What is something new you learnt from this summer learning journey activity?

    Keep up the great work Millah!

      Thanks for your positive comment!!
      I agree with you when you said I could add in facts about Machu Picchu, I could of made the post a bit better. I found this activity fun because you could agree or disagree. Before this activity I didn't know that this historic town was real or about all the damage that tourists have done to it. It's quite sad really.

  2. Hi Millah

    I really like the way you have added the before and after pictures to really highlight what you are talking about. The difference between the two is really noticeable. The lush green on the before photo is not even anywhere to be seen in the after photo. This is a real shame.
    I agree that they should restrict people from going to see this ancient site in Peru. If they keep allowing people to just walk all over it, it will no longer be here for the people of this country to cherish.
    I do wonder if a viewing point would be an option. Where they could only get to a certain site and look from there. This would stop people trampling all over the whole site.

    I really do hope that the Peru Government take action soon about this and don't leave it til it is too late.

    I would like to visit here one day, would you? So I hope they preserve it.

    Until next time

    Allie :)

    Thanks for your comment on my blog!!
    I agree with you when you were saying that there should only be a certain spot for people to look and see Machu Picchu. That will be sad if Peru didn't have anything to cherish like you said. It's like taking Te Papa away from New Zealand. I would love to go and see Machu Picchu, I would be a bit scared of falling off the edge though.

      What a shame for the area! I agree that access should be limited to certain areas as it would be great to have this tourist spot for the future generations to enjoy, too. I also agree that it would be horrible not having Te Papa Museum in NZ. It showcases such wonderful NZ history and in such an interactive, enthralling way. Yes, it does look a bit scary going so close to the edge and I am a bit wimpy with heights so I would have to stay away from the edges!
      Maybe you could add more photos of this area, more close-up photos of the village to your post?

      Thanks for your helpful comment!
      One day I would LOVE to see this village because it seems so beautiful. I think the close-up photos would have been a great idea
      for the task. Now I am going to go and look up some close-up photos of Machu Picchu because I am interested to see what it looks like closer.
