Machu Picchu
A truly awe-inspiring location, the lost city of the Incas and the last stop of the Inca trail from Cusco before Los Amazonas. The tropical climate of Machu Picchu meant the Incas cultivated the terraces as if they were green-houses. They chiseled the granite rock on location to make the bricks. It is literally a city on a peak and the sheer steep drop 2000 metres below only a step away did cause me mild vertigo as I negotiated the steps down from the Sacristry!
