The 3 hour train ride winding through the Sacred Valley of the Incas lead us to Aguas Calientes from which a bus lead us to Machu Picchu.
A thick fog blanketed the mountains and the sites. Within hours the sun cleared the fog and revealed the majestic views of the Lost City of the Incas. It was discovered in 1911. Unspoiled by destruction by the Spanish.
A steep strenuous climb up Waynapicchu (limited to 400 ppl a day) revealed a birds-eye view. Only then did it become clear how the city was designed in the shape of a condor.
My Dad, celebrating his 61st birthday on this day, made it to the top to our surprise!
