Once in a lifetime

After the Lares trek and a welcome shower and bed (rather than a sleeping bag in a tent,) the morning had come to see one of the seven wonders of the world. I should have slept really well, but I didn’t - it was like being a child again waiting for Christmas morning! I have wanted to visit Machu Picchu for such a long time and I can honestly say when I walked through the entrance, alongside the first set of terracing and then the famous postcard view came into sight, the only word I could manage was ‘wow!’

What a way to end my second week in Peru.
