Machu Picchu

Hi everyone! Sorry I havn´t wrote for so long! It has been an amazing week! We went to 5 or 6 ruins but the most outstanding was definatly Machu Picchu! We got there at 10:30 and I was the 337th person out of 400 to get to climb Wayanupicchu (this beautiful hike up to the top of a peak with a gourgous veiw of Machu Picchu and the sourounding area!). It was uphill but not as hard as I thought it would be. Once we got to the top we went up the impossible staircase! It was the most nerve racking and scary moment of my life. Up that staircase we went and to the top. It was gourgous. We snapped lots of pictures and made our decent down. What a hike, when we got down we ate tuna and crackers and tried to find our guide. We never found hime so we got a new guide. It was very interesting to hear about the culture and why things were there and that one of the reasons that Machu Picchu wasn´t destroyed by the spainyards is that they fled with all their food and belongings before they arrived. I will tell you more about it later but right now I need some more time to prosess the beauty of it! Noelle
