PERU Days 6 & 7: Hiking more jungle and the magic of Machu Picchu


The city of Machu Picchu is enveloped in clouds in the morning... this quickly changes throughout the day!

The quarry at Machu Picchu -- an amazing site considering that the Incas created this city from the rocks, without wheels and at an altitude of 8,000 feet.

Gregg makes friends with the black llama -- the most revered llama in the Inca culture. | The sun temple -- facing southeast, this temple absorbs the energy of the morning sun for the people.

This scene was magical. Alpacas in the foreground and Huanu Picchu misted in clouds in the background.

Hiking the amazing peak of Huanu Picchu was incredible feat and not for the faint. Step after step was felt through every part of the body!! | The Inca stairs were built into the terraces rather than at the ends of the terrace for strength.
