Machu Picchu

One of the most recognizable sites in South America if not the worl is Machu Picchu an incredible Inca ruins high on a mountain top in the Andes mountains in Peru. It did not disappoint. When you get your first glimpse it is hard to imagine building such a site this high up. It is one of the few sites that was not distorted by the Spanish when they invaded. Although we had rain for a good part of the time we were up there ( the Sun Gate was more like the cloud gate for us ) we still got great photos and an excellent visit at the site.
