Conquered Machu Picchu



Yes we made it after 4 days, 20-30 hours of challenging terrian, 49 km through the Andes mountains, we finally reached our destination. Machu Picchu an amazing civilization that was built by the Inca´s high in the Andes around yr. 1480 and remained self sufficient until 1530 when it was taken over by the Spaniards. The trek was most fullfilling as we travelled the Inca trail seeing and learning of the great people and there ruins which took us up to 13,886 ft. How they survived and where they lived was most astonishing.
