Machu Picchu at last


IMG_0086_DxO_1024
Why would anybody build a city on top of a mountain, requiring that people trek long distances through a jungle, up hundreds, no, thousands of steep steps... no, wait, bigger question, why would you almost-completely build such a place, have it completely functional, and then abandon it without obvious reason?

Becky and I visited Machu Picchu today, and discovered just how vast it really is, and how silly we were to think that climbing Huanapicchu should be on that list of fun things to do? More on this later, for now we'll start with a few photos and let you know that climbing Huanapicchu, and descending it, were two of the toughest Strava segments of my life! And they were only .7 miles each.
