This was a trip we had looked forward to taking for some time.  Visiting Machu Picchu was like visiting heaven, sitting in the clouds and admiring the magnificant Andes mountains.  The ancient Inca ruins were fascinating.  How did they move these enormous rocks and fit them together so tightly that you can't slide a piece of paper between them?  And what an engineering feat to build the terraces on the mountainsides and farm them to feed the entire community.
