Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is an Inca City built high in the Andes during the 15th & 16th centuries. It sits atop a tall mountain surrounded by even taller ones. Fortunately we were able to take a bus up the mountain.
It was mainly built as a temple site for the worship of the Inca deities, mainly the sun, the moon the condor and water. It was rediscovered in 1915 by a Yale Professor and has since undergone much cleaning up and restoration. We walked up to the site from the bus station, up amny steep steps wit ha guide to show us around. then after a buffet lunch on site Julie and I walked up the Inca trail to what's called the sun gate. A long and very steep walk! but the views were worth it.
