Has anyone visited the old inka mountain machu picchu in peru? what kind of feeling did you get?

Answer 1

Macchu Picchu (Old Mountain) is amazing but if you have the chance to climb the Huayna Picchu (Young Mountain)DO IT!!!! You will feel you own the world. Right at the top there is sort of a throne made of stone, sit there, the view is breathtaking... trust me, I have been in Cuzco 4 times and I never get tired of it.  Do not forget Ollantaytambo, Tambomachay, Sacsahuaman, Chincheros, Pisac and I can't remember all the places. Just in case, do not travel with shiny stuff, such as nice watches, golden chains, take care of your cameras and do not use those baggies on your waist, thiefs know very well what you carry there. Those pockets in the inside of your pants will work great, and do not carry your passport, take copies of it.  Enjoy and good luck.

Answer 2

It is an amazing place that is quite breathtaking!  You feel like you're IN a National Geographic photo!  Just give yourself a day in Cuzco to adjust to altitude.  Cuzco is higher so once you have your bearings there, you will be fine in Machu Picchu!

Answer 3

The Inca ruins of Machu Picchu are simply spectacular.  You feel at the top of the world high in the Andes, walking the paths of ancient civilizations.  If you like adventure and Eco tourism, and are not expecting triple A accommodations and services, the trip is inexpensive and something worth seeing.  Peru is trying to have Machu Picchu recognized as one of The Wonders of The World, I think the 7th or 8th, I lost track of them.  I hope you get to see it in person.

Answer 4

The experience is, to say the less, magnificent. Machu Picchu is nested atop this abrupt mountain, perfectly integrated to the flora and fauna of the cloud forest, which is the predominant ecosystem in the lower, eastern slopes of the Andes.

Besides admiring the architecture and the natural beauty of the place, you'll probably feel some connection to the people who built the place -and actually lived here. It's sort of inevitable to wonder how they managed to bring the enormous rocks up there (Incas didn't know the wheel!), and what kind of life they lived, isolated as they were from the "world" (that is, Cusco city).

In any case, Machu Picchu is a unique, marvelous experience.

Answer 5

i thing is impossible to describe kind of feeling you get there just is amazing

try to get this experience

Answer 6

Completely, utterly, hopelessly awed. I did not want to come back. I would describe it as "majestic" more than anything else. Just to touch the rocks that people worked on so long ago gave me a feeling as if I could almost reach out and connect to them.

Answer 7

Absolutely amazing. I had seen so many pictures, but they did not prepare me for the absolute beauty it was to see it in person. I felt like I was there with the Incan emperors... I remember just closing my eyes and taking in all the sounds and the feelings. Definitely worth the money and the long train ride to go visit! I plan to go back again and take my husband, and possibly hike the Inca trail.
