Andes just north of Cuzco. I´m not going there! The name "Andes" is taken from an Aztec word describing the area to the east (Amazon).

One of the mysterious "alters" at Machu Piccu built by the Incas. 9 of every 10 corpses found by archeologist is female. Another mystery.

note the narrowest of the trail going up and the impressive mountains behind. "Waynapicchu" is a special mountain behind Machupiccu. It is about another 500 meters straight up and only 500 visitors are allowed the climb daily.


Here are five stone steps built into the terrace near the top. It is really scary to use them. The fall would be nearly 800 meters! I went around.
