Dodie ( my oldest son)💚 and spouse Ruth Carver enjoying the sites and sounds of Machu Picchu just recently.
Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru on a mountain ridge at 2,430 meters (7,970 ft). Often referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is the most familiar icon of the Inca Empire. It is located in the Machupicchu District within the Urubamba Province above the Sacred Valley, which is 80 kilometers (50 mi) northwest of the city of Cusco. The Urubamba River flows past it, cutting through the Cordillera and creating a canyon with a subtropical mountain climate.
Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historic Sanctuary in 1982 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide internet poll. Here are some of Dodie's photos:
Here's what Dodie wrote on his FB Page: Can’t believe we really made it to Machu Picchu. It was an adventure just getting here. We flew to Cusco. Bussed to Urubamba where we stayed 2 nights to acclimate to the altitude. Then bus to Ollantaytambo where we caught an 1 ½ hour train ride to Aguas Calientes. We stayed at a nice hotel there. Then a shuttle bus up the windy road to Machu picchu. We had two visits. The first on a rainy afternoon and then the next morning when it was sunny and beautiful weather. All this was through OAT. Afterwards we drove back to Cusco. The 11000 feet elevation took a toll on me and I had to rest, so I didn’t see much of Cusco.
