Yesterday we made it to Machu Picchu. It took 4 hours to get there and it was worth the train ride. The ruins and mountains are in a green valley, surrounded by only wilderness and the chain of tourists. Luckily for us, we made the right decision to hire a private guide to lead us around the place and give the history and significance of the ruins. Without her, we would have taken a few photos, walked around, and been there, done that. We ended up walking up and down and out to the Inca Bridge and along the Inca trail. The mountain face didn´t beckon and that was left to people who want to hang on a rockface cliff for fun. Then it was time for the 4 hours back to Cusco. A long way to go to see the home of the Inca Kings.
Thanksgiving seemed better suited to a slower paced private tour of the Sacred Valley and we went everywhere. I couldn´t even begin to remember how to pronouce or spell the towns and Inca ruins but we were there. Photos when I return. Tonight we´ll have Thanksgiving dinner in Cusco and then tomorrow it´s back to Lima before heading home on Saturday.
