We arrived at Cusco after a ride full of weird events. Just the guy that got on the bus, stood in the middle of the corridor and before beginning his rythm shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen... I shall sing!" to remember, is more than enough!
So, Cusco it is and we're here only for one thing: Machu Picchu.
Words are not necessary. The photos say it all.
Aguas Calientes. The village at the bottom of the mountain.
We were there from 6am in order to get out priority number to enter Huayna Picchu, the tall peak in the middle, onto which they only allow 400 visitors per day.
Now for that one, what can I say? About the long and hard hike to the top?
About the incredible altitude which we reached?
Just look where the river is and Machu Picchu on the left in relation to my feet!
About the even harder hike downwards and around the mountain to find the infamous big cavern?
Or maybe about the fact that after going up and down endless steps and losing tons of sweat, we asked and were told that through this whole route that we followed, out feet experienced about 13.000 steps?!?!?!
Yes. 13.000!
When we got back to our hotel well in the afternoon, we went straight to sleep, only to wake up the next morning and head back to the center of Cusco. The long ride to Cajamarca is about to begin...
