    Once you get here it's pretty easy to see why Machupicchu is listed as one of the seven wonders of the world. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[281]
         		 If you use your imagination you can see a condor. This area is called Altar of the Condor and is where sacrifices were performed. . : by danidawnandstevo, Views[298]

         		 Made it Machupicchu. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[257]
         		 Just one of the many other ways to cross the river. This contraption was by far the strangest. A cart that uses a zip line to get to the other side. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[214]
         		 After the final river crossing, through the bat infested tunnel to the well deserved hot springs. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[226]

    I was allowed to row the boat and received some well deserved instructions from El Capitan. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[171]

         		 Pachamama temple. We were told to make a wish and walk around it counterclockwise three times and your wish will come true. Unfortunately our second lap was interrupted by a guy taking a piss on the temple so we don't think our wishes will come true. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[214]
     
    On the way back down from Pachamama temple. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[212]

         		 The flag can be seen all over South America. It represents the rainbow or bridge that connects the Inca Empires native people of the Andes. It's not gay pride as thought by many. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[236]
         		 One of the few remaining walls from Inca times. Most lay under the city of Cusco or were destroyed by the Spanish. What's remarkable and still a mystery is how the huge rocks were transported 70 km and carved with such precision they didn't need mortar. : by danidawnandstevo, Views[213]
