Machu Picchu. We've all known these two small words of Quechua language since quite young age, and for those who love to wander the world (like us!), this place has always been in our traveler dreams. The ruins seating on the top of the mountain are a must-go-place on South America!
Since it was first revealed to the rest of the world by the American Hiram Bingham in 1911, Machu Picchu has received an increasingly number of visitors reaching the peak of about 400.000 people a year. Although we wanted to get up there and discover a magical unique place, we both were concerned that either the whole vibe behind the Machu Picchu was misleading or that the hordes of tourists would spoil the place. We were prepared for a disappointment.
So you can imagine both our excitement and uneasiness when we've finally found ourselves on the mini-bus on the way to the top of Machu Pichhu.
