CITY OF POTOSI The city flourished in the first half of the 17th century, when more people lived in it than in London itself!

When the reserves of precious metal in the mines dried up, the city fell into decay.

TIAHUANACO CITY It is located on the territory of Bolivia - on the lands that once belonged to the Incas. But it is believed that this settlement was founded long before them.

DESERT OF NASCA This plateau in Peru is located between the valleys of the Nazca and Ingenio rivers, 450 km from the city of Lima.

The territory of 500 square kilometers is covered with gigantic, up to 300 meters long, images of people and animals, lines, spirals and geometric shapes. Some of them are several tens of meters in size. And to appreciate the work of an unknown artist is possible only from a bird's eye view.

The general plan of the city was developed by another brilliant architect - Luisio Costa. From above, Brasilia resembles the figure of an airplane. On its "nose" were built the buildings of the Government, the National Congress and the Supreme Court. The most impressive temple in this city is the cathedral Catholic cathedral, to which Niemeyer gave the unusual shape of a crown of thorns. CITY OF BRAZIL

Another feature of Brazil is the lack of sidewalks and the limited number of pedestrian crossings. Half a century ago, it was believed that this settlement is a prototype of the cities of the 21st century, strictly subordinated to one architectural idea. However, this order now seems modern people somewhat monotonous. CITY OF BRAZIL

THE CITY OF CUSCO Translated from the language of the Quechua Indians, Cusco means "the navel of the earth." Until now, 500 years after the arrival of the Spaniards, the city of Cusco remains the crossroads of two cultures. Cusco has a rich colonial past - there are many churches here, such as the Church of La Company and the monastery of La Merced. The area around San Vlas, which is home to many artists and artisans, has not changed for hundreds of years. Masterfully finished by the famous Inca masons, the foundations of the houses have survived to this day. Red tiled roofs and cobbled streets give this ancient city its unique flavor.

THE HISTORIC CENTER OF SAN LUIS The city center, which was built by the French in the 17th century, then occupied by the Dutch, and was under the control of the Portuguese, was built according to a right-perpendicular street structure. Thanks to a period of economic stagnation at the beginning of the 20th century, most of the buildings of interest as historical monuments, has survived to this day. It is a prime example of colonial architecture.
