Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu - definitely a point on almost every bucket list. What an experience. We took the bus to a hydro power plant and hiked for around one and a half hours to Aguas Calientes, the village at the foot of Machu Picchu. At 4.00am the next morning we started our hike up to the Archeological site. It took us a very exhausting hour before we finally entered Machu Picchu. Our guide told us about the Inke who used to live here, the story about the creation of the village and the conquest of the Spains. Additionally we hiked up to one of the surrounding mountains, Wayna Picchu. It was nice to have a complete different view from there, but nothing beats the famous view point. Just standing there and see Machu Picchu in front of The foggy mountains is breathtaking.
Absolutely one of the most impressive moments on our trip. Even when it’s still super crowded even during the pandemic.Leer más
