Entry from: Machu Picchu, Peru Entry Title: "Machu Picchu At Last!" Entry: "We made it to one of our top 5 must see sites, Machu Picchu! It was truly an amazing experience. The ruins are spectacular and you can´t help but to be awed at how they could have built such a magnificent place in the middle of all these mountains. The day we went was mixed with sun and rain. The rain, mist and fog added to its mystery and kept the crowds at bay. We tooled around the ruins from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm though you can really see it in 3-4 hours we just really took our time. We also did a hike up Inti Punku aka Sun Gate which provided amazing views from above the ruins. The masonry work is beyond explanation. The cost for the train, bus and tickets was about $125 pp plus food and accommodation. Not the cheapest site to visit. Many tour groups go through so we would pick up bits and pieces when we passed by otherwise our guidebook provided enough explanation of what we were seeing. We know so little about their culture and traditions. We are now in the town of Ollantaytambo that is surrounded by an Inca fortress above and is a quaint, laid back village where we could spend weeks just lazying around and taking hikes to ruins around. We hiked up a steep hill to some ruins that provided magnificent views of the mountains ...

We could have taken the train up in the morning but of course I'm going to say that it's more special making the pilgrimage on foot like the old Incas did. I mean no disrespect to those who did train it up there because Machu Picchu is so cool that it doesn't matter how you get there, just that you go. Up for debate is what Machu Picchu was actually used for. For so long, Machu Picchu was hidden until it was found by Hiram Bingham early last century. The Spanish didn't know about it and it is safe to say that many Inca descendents also didn't know about it (if they did then the Spanish would have been there in a flash). So its secrecy made it hard to pass on stories about what took place there. For the most part, many opinions are that Machu Picchu was used as a religious and ceremonial site. Let's just settle on that for the purposes of this blog. The best spot to start exploring Machu Picchu is from the farming terraces. Climb a little higher on the terraces and you're at the spot that all the postcard pictures of Machu Picchu are taken, called the Watchman's Hut. The ruins on top of a mountain in the foreground, the steep Wayna Picchu mountain in the background and a big ...
