Montaña Vieja

Last Year, in September, I traveled for the first time to Cuzco,  beautiful city.

I have traveled with my sister for a week,  I have always wanted to visit Machu Picchu, I think my age was perfect   to do this trip, I mean in order  to enjoy  the majestic of the Incas city  as much as possible, Cuzco is a nice colonial city, there are wonderful churches, lots of places for good food, the night life is so beautiful, It’s a good idea to visit “El Barrio de San Blas” . The third day, we went to Machu Picchu,  I couldn’t believe that, It’s a huge and wonderful place.

 

The trip to Machu Picchu is also very beautiful (include a train trip),  we arrived to a nice  small town called “Aguas  Calientes”, the weather is warm, and wet, this town is a side of a big river, “The Urubamba River”, between huge mountains, I couldn’t believe that Machu Picchu was at the top of one of those mountains, from Aguas Calientes, we had to take a bus, that climbed slowly from side to side a very big mountain, from the top, the Urubamba River looked tiny. In Machu Picchu, it was plenty of tourists, from all over the world,  my pictures say by itself,  It’s a mystic place, the energy you feel is incredible,  I love that place, actually, I would like to go back when ever its possible.

However, in Cuzco there are also more beautiful and historical places to see, you can visit Sacsayhuaman, Ollantaytambo, Pisaq, Chincheros, etc. September is the best time to visit this place because of its weather.

P.S : Macchu Pichu, comes from a Quechua phrase meaning   ¨Montaña Vieja¨.
