Machupicchu

Machupichu!!! Finally! one of our top destinations during the trip! 4 day trek to get there. First day we did 85 km on mountain bikes, Loads of fun even tough it started to rain and the bikes were kinda shit! 2 Day 19km of trekking ending in some beautiful hot springs. 3 day more trekking and after 24km finally stopping at the base of Machupicchu. 4 day we got up at 4:30 and started to walk the 1600 steps that take you 400m up to the lost village of the Inkas!



Starting of at 4400m


Tough it was raining we still hade fun!

Dog or wolf?

Racing down Joe tried to take a shortcut to catch up... i didn't work...

Wrong way! Tired after the first day! and keeping his head warm
the beginning of white powder


Poor Andy is afraid of heights and with hundreds of meters down he preferred to hold on to the wall

Hard work
Taking a breakFound myself a new friend

Not the safest bridge in the world

The way up to the top peek of the mountain
It seemed like a great idea at the time!
Happy guys with the lost city in the background

Climbing up ;)
Looks like hard work
The temple of the sun. So amazing craftsmanship! no cement used, just perfectly cut rocks and you cant even get a bit of paper in between
And old Inka trail.. 40 cm wide and 300m down.

Cusco

The city of Cusco and the place most people visit Machupicchu from is packed with tourist! So everywere you go its people offering massages, food, handcraft, drugs and all day happy hours! But besides from all this it truly is a beautiful city and worth a couple of extra days just walking around enjoining the people, the culture and amazing buildings




Not the biggst house in the world
The famous Peruvian Guinea pig! expensive and disgusting but still something you just have to try



Messy room

Friday the 13.party at Loki Hostel and we bought 100m of bubblewrap...GREAT IDEA!!
