Macchu Picchu


Machu Picchu- The highlight of our trip, and probably the highlight of almost every traveller in South America, this exceeded our expectations. It was awe-inspiring to see this ancient city that wasn´t revealed to the conquering Spaniards and wasn´t found until only about 90 years ago. Macchu Picchu is set in a spectacular location set amongst mountains, overlooking the jungle and occasionally getting the mist that only makes it more mysterious. Brinja and I spent about a full day here with almost perfect weather, until when we were about to leave the clouds started coming and it started to rain. Other than that, and a few weird insect bites that I got on my hand, the Macchu Picchu trip was all that I thought it would be and more.
