2021-11-02 Machu Picchu just after sunrise

We had not one, but TWO opportunities to explore the amazing ruins of Machu Picchu, Peru. The Incan town from the 1400s is being excavated and rebuilt by archeologists--- amazing engineering and use of precise terracing on the steep mountain slopes.

 

Zoom if you wish to see more details of the buildings and the carving of the rock blocks.

 

We were fortunate to be able to travel once more, and this was a huge bucket list trip--- Peru and Ecuador, with highlights of visits to the rainforest, Machu Picchu, and the Galapagos Islands. Lots more photos to come in the upcoming weeks.....
