¡Machu Picchu!

Machu Picchu Travel Blog | Travelogue | Travel Journal

Peru is phenomenal! Every part of my trip was amazing, from my first passport stamp to my last night in Peru consisting of two hours of sleep.

¡Machu Picchu!

If you travel, Machu Picchu needs to be your destination. It's stunningly beautiful, set up high in the Peruvian mountains. Rivers of fresh water from the mountains complement the amazingly green plants and trees growing around the base of Machu Picchu Mountain. And the ruins themselve are a marvel of engineering designed to withstand the common earthquakes of the "Ring of Fire" seismic zone. Let's not forget that the ruins used to house a few hundred lucky Incas too.


To repeat my friend: "Who was the Inca's realtor?"

I'm going here in December. Any advice? Did you take the train there? How was that?

Such a pity you didn't do the Inca Trail. It is hugely reqarding. Arriving at Machu Picchu via the Sun Gate at sunrise is a life altering experience. Glad you enjoyed it though.
