The Crew in Peru!: Machu Picchu OR F*ck that cave

I took this!

A picture is worth 1000 words so here is our AMAZING trip to Machu Picchu...(we know most of you just look at the pictures anyway :-P)

We had to wake up at 2:30 am to get the first bus up to the park so we could get a stamp to climb Waynapicchu, (that lovely vertical peak in the back of the postcard pic above)

Bright eyed and bushytailed in the morning

We spent the first couple hours exploring by ourselves and playing with the llamas who live there (highlight of Katy's trip). We also took a lot of pictures which in hindsight was a really good call because we later got excessively sweaty....

nbd chillin with llamas

We then met our lovely english-speaking guide Eddy, who told us all about the Incas who built the city and their fascinating culture--read wikipedia if you want to hear all about it...Here he is repeating the name of the Inca God which is kind of excessively long...(sorry I forgot to rotate it before uploading...)

At 10:00 am it was our turn to Hike Waynapicchu

which has lots of crazy stairs

and makes Machu Picchu look like a postage stamp

but makes us look like badasses...

favorite picture of the trip...

We then decided to hike down to the Moon Cave which in hindsight was a terrible call as we almost keeled over coming back up...it was also kind of disappointingly lame...
