Machu Picchu
Bright sunny day starting at 7:00. Warm and M.P was as advertised, fantastic. There were hundred of visitors arriving at about the same time and I somehow missed my tour guide so I guess that could have been better. The Incas were pretty good with stone and Machu Picchu is quite an example. My knees held out for almost three hours of walking and climbing.
I fully understand why this site is considered one of the seven wonders of the world. It’s location perched on a mountain top and surrounded by peaks makes for an impressive place. For more info on Machu Picchu.
Day 12 (Oct. 15)
Aquas Caliente to Cusco
Train ride went well to Olantambo but there was no bus there as planned. A taxi was arranged and it only took 90 minutes to return to Cusco. I'm getting laundry done and catching up on this site.
