Many movies which we see often have a plot which includes some historical places of great importance. In this case I will tell you about some movies which were shot at some famous World heritage Sites.
The Motorcycle Diaries
Adapted from the book of the same name, by Che Guevara, reveals his early travels in Latin America.
Machu Picchu, a World Heritage site in Peru, appears on the route to Lima from Cusco. Here him and his
travel companion Alberto Granado have some conversation about local people’s struggle against the Spanish invaders
and reactivating Tupac Amaru’s Revolution against them(Spanish invaders). The moment was nostalgic for Guevara as he felt.
