Today we went to Machu Picchu, an old Inca civilization that is about 7,000 feet up in the Andes mountains. It is one of the 7 wonders of the world and after only 5 minutes of walking around you easily see why. The stones used to build the city are made from white granite and so perfectly cut to fit. The architecture was incredible and hard to imagine how they did it. After exploring all of the city we hiked up about a mile to the top of a mountain that overlooks all of Machu Picchu. It was the most beautiful view. Today was a day I will never forget. Next stop the Amazon!

I have always been fascinated with the world and travel. I love different cultures and meeting new people in new places. I have traveled many places within the states and also spent a month in Okinawa, Japan. Seeing the many different cultures throughout Peru is going to be incredible. Also climbing Machu Picchu and taking a boat ride down the Amazon is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I’m looking forward to this trip of a lifetime.
