La ciudad perdida / Lost city (2490m)

by elpariente - last update: Mar 2, 2007

Al llegar a Machu Picchu se te pone la carne de gallina , aunque lo has visto mil veces en fotografías , al verlo de verdad te impresiona
Llegamos en el segundo autobús , así que tuvimos que cogerlo a las 5h30m , pero vale la pena llegar temprano antes de que lleguen los trenes de Cuzco , pues es la forma de pasearlo un poco más tranquilos .
Se sube en autobús desde el río Urubamba y una vez que llegas arriba te ves rodeado de las grandes montañas andinas y con el Huayna Picchu y todas las construcciones Incas , templos , puertas , escaleras , terrazas... ,en frente de ti
Me imagino la cara que se le habrá quedado en 1911 a Hiram Bingham cuando llegó por primera vez a Machu Picchu
Después de la primera impresión , búscate un buena guía , pasea y déja volar la imaginación disfrutando de las historias y de este este sitio inolvidable
When you reach Machu Picchu you get chicken skin , though you have seen it one thousand times in photos , when you really see it is very impressive
We arrived in the second bus , we took it at 5h30m , but is worthy to arrive early before that the trains arrive from Cuzco , because is the way of walking it a bit quite .
You go up by bus from the Urubamba river and once you are in the top you feel surrounded by big Andean mountains and with the Huayna Picchu ,and all the Inca buildings , temples , gates , staircases , terraces... , in front of you
I can imagine the face of Hiram Bingham when he arrived there for first time on 1911
After the first impression , find a good guide , walk and let fly you imagination enjoying the stories and this place
