1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour #151- Machu Picchu, Peru

1001 Places/Experiences to See or Savour After Remission #151

- Machu Picchu, Peru
 
(At last...Machu Picchu, The Lost City of the Incas - one of the 7 Wonders of the World. Seeing it for the first time as you move past the entrance gate, I get a sensation that is different from everything else I have seen..surreal, out-of-body-type experience is the word. A city built 500 years ago, sitting on a knife-edge ridge of a mountain nearly 8000ft high. Our guide for the day, Pascual, gave us all the details that made this city come alive! On a sunny morning like today, all angles are camera-friendly. But no photo can do justice to the beauty of this place, not even the video or the 180degree shot below. Only this description is adequate, "Jaw-dropping beauty!")
