My day trip to Machu Picchu was the best experience of my Peruvian trip. I’d have to say this place surpassed all of my expectations and I’m very glad I saw it. Words, videos and pictures can’t really capture it.
Welcome to Machu Picchu!
The city, the smell and the views are impressive. You really need to be there to understand how magical this place is. Once I reached the point from where Machu Picchu’s famous panoramic pictures are taken I was feeling like I was on the top of the world. I spent several hours walking around the complex trying to imagine how this city would have looked at the peak of the Inca civilization on the XV century. Once I got tired of walking around the ruins I went to the higher point and sit there. Surrounded by Alpacas, Llamas and Vicuñas, breathing fresh air and looking at one of the most mystical places on earth I could just clear my mind and think about nothing.

After a while sitting with my eyes closed I felt relaxed like never before. I knew that my South American trip was almost over but an urge to come back to explore the rest of magic locations on the continent started to grow on me.
South America is now for me like Philippines was for MacArthur. I shall return!
