Hill station in Machu Picchu, Peru

One off the bucketlist - We were very close to not making the trip up there as our budget was on its last legs. We decided to go it alone rather than use the extortionate travel agencies and made the journey via several local combi-taxi’s, one of which was 5 hours long, then a few sketchy gravel roads with sheer drops to the road’s side, a hike up a railway track, a mad dash through a tunnel to avoid the approaching train, and then a 3 hour round trip hike to the top and back the following morning. One of the best decisions we made and a story to tell. Always do it.

Mountain range in Aguas Calientes, Peru

We entered Machu Picchu at 5:30am as the sun was rising over the mountains. This photo was captured as a bird flew off into the distance once we entered the park. The clouds rose from the base of Machu Picchu and cleared to make a sunny day.

Son pocos los lugares que te ofrecen la magia y la conexión especial con el entorno. Con el primer paso en Machu Picchu, sabrás que es maravilla de maravillas. Una razón más para darnos cuenta cuan imponentes fueron los Incas al momento de hacer sus construcciones. Naturaleza e historia juntas para deslumbrarnos.
