MACCU PICCHU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today started at 4am.. We all got out of bed had breakfast and got on the bus for our 2 hour ride to Cusco. Once at Cusco, we had to get on a train for about and hour and half to get to the top of where Maccu Picchu is. After arriving at the top this was the first thing I saw.....

It was truly the most remarkable thing I have ever saw. It literally caught me so off guard that when I turned and saw the beautiful untouched city, I almost fell backwards in astonishment. It was truly an unreal sight and can't believe I got to experience it. From the moment I got up to the top I was so fascinated to learn about this unknown mystery. It was said that the area was used for a few different things. Although all are just theories, many say that this area was used as a vacation spot, other say it was used to flee too in midst of war, some say it was an ancient city just high up in the mountains, and the non-believers say it was just built by aliens. Amazingly enough, whatever it was used for...I got to see it and live it first hand.
Once inside, I got to see some of the amazing architecture.
I also got to make a few friends..
The alpacas up on the top are a special type of breed. They are used as what the locals describe as natural grass cutters. They help trim the grass and keep it fertile. Essentially the alpacas just get to live their whole lives in one of the 7 wonders in the world. Truly amazing.
Next, we were allowed to tour the area for several hours so we decided to head up to the Sun Gate. Up on top, the view was indescribable...the hike up was about 30 minutes and when I got on top almost the whole group was already up there. We decided to take some funny pictures, relax, and just soak in this wonderful place.
All in all, it was a magnificent day with tons of remarkable memories that I will never be able to forget.
