Machu Picchu - the crown jewel

by ryuhome - last update: Sep 3, 2005

A magical anti-climax

Caretaker's hut early in the morning
I've read so much and seen so many pictures of it that it's easy to become an anti-climax. But I think the pictures here said it all, there's nothing like this on this earth. I did not climb Huyana Picchu because I'm afraid of height. My wife and my daughter did, they said the trip is all worth it if it's just because of that. Wish I could be there on the peak.
