The ruined city above the clouds on the mountain Machu Picchu is one of the most impressive buildings in the world. The city in the middle of the Amazon forest was built by the Incas in the 15th century and fell into oblivion over three centuries until it was rediscovered in 1911. Since then, it is one of the most beautiful places on earth.

This hike was so fantastic! What an adventure. We were lucky to have 2 girls from the village to be our guides, definitely saved us a couple of wrong turns.
