Finally made this bucket list item, and it did not disappoint, although it was hard to navigate the crowds at times.

I learned that Peru isn't just about this famous site, however. The cuisine in nearby Cusco (11000 ft/3300m elevation) is splendid! As is in the capital, Lima, home to some of the best restaurants in the world.

Originally I wanted to call this "Not So Macho in Picchu" because, man, I just don't do well with heights!!
