Round the World in 30 Days

Photo of the Day – Machu Picchu, Peru

Located on a mountain ridge soaring almost 8,000 feet above sea level, the “Lost City of the Incas” is considered one of the world’s most enigmatic ancient sites.  Its cascading terraces of perfectly-cut stones stand as a legacy to the architectural genius of the Incas.  A completely self-contained city, invisible from below, the cloud-shrouded ruins managed to remain undiscovered for hundreds of years.  Whether you make the arduous, 4-day hike up the Inca Trail or simply take the train from Cuzco, your first glimpse of Machu Picchu is likely to be a magical experience.
