One of the New 7 Wonders of the World... Well first a few of us hike all the way to Machu Picchu which was remarkable. This was the first time I ever hiked and I went through it like a champ. I was so hot that you could see the stem leaving my body. True Story... Once we get the the entrance we meet everyone there and I am beat. So I get selected to hike Machu Picchu Mountain which is 12,000 feet. Don't forget that I just hiked to get to the entrance while most people rode the bus which was several thousand feet. So I hike Machu Picchu mountain in around a 1hour and 25 minutes. Once I got to the top it was very satisfying. seeing the view of the ruins and Huayna Picchu was breath taking. Seeing something that was built around 1450 and to have most off the original landscape there was incredible. I was shocked that 90 percent of the rock stairway was the original stair the Incas took. Seeing their rock structure and the way they built things they were geniuses beyond their time. How they got those rocks up there is astonishing. Hearing that they would carve rocks and roll them and sometimes carry thousand pound rocks to some locations is crazy.... I am honored I had a chance to visit Machu Picchu I have to come back because I want to hike Huayna Picchu mountain so I can say I hiked both mountains. Above our some pictures I took if you want to see more just go to my facebook page and look in the album Machu Picchu. Seeing what they did is incredible but it makes me think I wonder what else could they have done if the Spanish wouldn't have came???????
