Machu Picchu One of the wonders of the world

It was a pain to get to Machu Picchu but it was well worth it. We had to fly to Cuzco then take a bus and train to Aguas Calientes. Then we woke up early and took a bus to Machu Picchu the next morning. There was a fabulous view from our hotel of the mountains and the river. It was awesome seeing the Royal Palaces of the Incas which has been compared to the United States President´s Camp David. Machu Picchu was beautiful to see and scary at the same time because I am terrified of heights. I enjoyed seeing the site discovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911. I wish we had more time to climb the mountains but what we saw of it was amazing. It loved to see the sites that were used for sacrfices or religious rituals because it is nice to learn about the different cultures.
