mysteries that are still being discovered

A world that still has mysteries ready to be discovered........

Latin America is celebrating. Most major newspapers make reference to the newest discovery in the Peruvian Amazon basin: the third highest most waterfalls in the world. Just when the world seemed so discovered and we were heading off to the stars and other planets, we realize that our own planet has wonderful hidden treasures, natural and those created by mankind.

Not so long ago –in terms of history- in that very same country and in a similar rainforest geography, at the beginning of the 20th century, an American explorer by the name of Hiram Bingham discovered the lost Inca Sanctuary of Machu Picchu. Not even discovered by the Spanish conquerors, the amazing Inca construction was covered by the jungle like vegetation. Today, nearly a century after that discovery, explorers from Peru and Germany lead by Stefan Ziemendorff discover this natural sanctuary that is the Gocta waterfall. The surrounding area within the Chachapoyas province in North east Peru beholds also a recent amazing discovery, that of a non Inca citadel fortress of several hundred years that was at the frontiers of the Andes Empire in the Utcubamba valley.

According to the information provided by the research group, this waterfall ranks third in the world, after El Salto del Angel –The Angels Jump- in Venezuela featuring 972 meters; and Tugela Falls of 948 meters in South Africa.

The 771 meter high waterfall was a natural sanctuary for the local indigenous populations of the area. Descendants to the Chachapoyas Indians, one of the few ethnic groups that were able to repel the Inca conquest, the locals who knew and venerated this Mother Nature’s monument, had never said a word about it because they feared some kind of curse from the water mermaid like goddess they worship.
The importance in terms of culture and paradise unspoiled location of this discovery has to be always remembered and bared in mind for any sort of tourist like visits or tours, being respectful of Nature as well as the locals, for whom –according to their system of believes- this is a sacred sanctuary.

The simplicity of our design, keeps the attention focused on what we believe is key and important, our one of a kind work. That's why on the left side of the screen we provide a topic directory thru which it's easy and simple to access any of the articles, galleries and information posted on our site.

The fact that we update Art Dealer's Project online every day, every minute, keeps us connected with our net friends and surfers. Therefore we can address any matter on the spot and provide the best customized attention possible.

We take upon interests and topics that interest our public and develop them to the deeper to provide the best and most accurate information on subjects that are not broadly developed yet by the local cultural community.

Our expertise in the local field of culture and arts antiques and collectibles, has led us to develop a service section in which we provide customized attention to all our friends and newcomers from around the globe.

The passion we share for our country, its society and culture reflected in our works is what makes of our customized tourism services the chosen option by those travellers who want more, who wish to discover Buenos Aires and Argentina fitting their needs and interests.
