MACHU PICCHU
Mach Piccu, one of the seven tourist wonders of the world. Built by a hoard of Incas way back in the day, they used it for a generation then shifted out thanks to the Spaniards. We woke at 5am hiking an hour and a half pretty much straight up. Did it in an hour so that we could catch a glimpse of the sunrise over Machu Picchu. Gutted... we kinda missed it on the way up, well you cant really see it anyway thanks to all the mountains around. Up there, was an amazing once in a lifetime view and the tour was also brilliant. A mega Touristy place but kinda peacefull at 7 am in the morning.



Celebrating our ascent to the famous Machu picchu... Go Team NZ!

Awwe... Pretty amazing what those little Incas did.


Eat your heart out Builders...
