Ausie friends of ours - here in Nicaragua - travelled to Peru a couple of months ago, and visited and walked around Machu Picchu. It was one of the most stunning experiences of their lives, even with her being sick for a few days from the altitude.
Knowing I am a photographer, they were very zealous in recommending that location as a must-do for Anne and I. We are commited to a trip to Ecuador coming up in Feb/March, so not likely within the next year. But something we are considering.
Nice landscape photo of the mountains.
