Yep i finally made it to the world famous inca ruins of Machu Picchu.Im sure the place does'nt need any introduction to any of you,but if it does its insane ruins atop insane mountains in the insane clouds and was obviously built by insane people.
Seroiuosly the inca's who built this place really must have been a little crazy.I mean just to walk,trek or climb to the ruins is a mission in itsels and to build a city and live there also is absoluteley mind blowing.
I was a little weary about doing the whole "lost city" ruins as there is sooo much hype and tourism blowout around it.Somewhere like 1-2000 people visit this place a day and they charge about 120bucks per person,now peru is not a real well of country so with figures like that this place probably supports the whole countrie's economy.
Not to mention the devostation this amount of people must cause on the timid enviroment.Seroiusly this place is in the clouds on the steepest of steep mountains.
Anyway i got over my moral stubborness after a few good people told me i must do it, and so i did it.
I was not affected by the amount of tourists at all,the place was absolutely awe inspiringly amazing.I was totally blown away and so stoked to be there.
The scenery surrounding it was majestic,and the location somewhat surreal.
The city is built sooo perfectly from boulders and stone quarried then carried from quite a distance.And cosidering it was a hard climb up there due to the steepness of the mountain and altitude(i was'nt bgetting no bus)it was hard to imagine just how this place was constructed by hand.
Some areas you would sit on the edge of a wall only for there to be a sheer drop to eternity,i'd love to show photo's but there is 2 reasons why i won't,
1-they just would'nt do the place justice
2-im retarded at getting the friggers on my blog
Anyway,yeah Machu Picchu was totally amazing,an amazing human feat,beautiful artwork,and an insane idea turned into reality.
