To say that today was amazing would be an understatement! We hopped on a train to the town of Aguas Calientes. From there we caught a bus up to Machu Picchu. The first part is pretty flat, but then the fun begins. Uneven stone steps that zigzag their way up the hill to the viewpoint you are waiting for. Our guide, Sally, made us put on blindfolds for the last 50 yds. Then it was time for the big reveal. Breathtaking. Impressive. Beyond words. Spectacular. We then hiked all over the complex for the next few hours. You can see why it's one of the Wonders of the World. The weather was perfect. ..sunny with a bit of a breeze. The sun sure is strong...we're a bit red.
After heading back to the hotel, a bunch of kids headed to the hot springs for some well deserved therapeutic time. And some even got massages after dinner as well.
We knew today was one of our highlight days...and it sure lived up to the hype.
Hasta la próxima...

Looks like a great adventure! I may have to plan a study abroad to South America so I can experience this with my students.
