Peruvian Coast recalls the great desert and there is nothing attracts attention. Will try more to the north, people say they saw the palm trees there:)))
now stood before a trip to South America's largest attractions. (According to some) - przeslynnym, entered last in the list of 7 new wonders of the world - Machu Picchu. This was a difficult passage for us with two reasons. The first was a very prosaic distance from the coast to the former capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco, going about 40 hours by bus. It is indeed a passage completely ruining the morale of the branch. More expensive mental feeling is .... how to call it .... fear of the profession. That is, expect something great, you're going 40 long hours, you pay a lot of money (admission to the lost city costs about 120 USD) iiiiii what ...???
Well, after another for the time you describe how it looks :)))))
We start from Cusco because the city has in itself a lot of potential and makes a pleasant impression. As. She was the former capital of the Inca Empire, is quite ancient. Old town is dotted with beautiful churches and sacral buildings. And actually it has led us to question - to what end once the church was built on the church ????. with the former Inca temples has not been much, because all have been demolished by the Spaniards, and the material used wturnie. Looking at the design There appears to be original ornaments. Curious fact that all the buildings were riddled with Inca gold and silver, however, that the Spaniards were deported from here all the gram. Conquistadors first came here in 1533, and a year later, he came up Frncisco Pizzaro. Since then, Cusco became the center of English colonialism in the Andean region.

Because of his age znakomistosci city has been inscribed in 1983 on the UNESCO list, and annually visited by more than 1.5 million tourists.
City as sightseeing, diversifying piwkiem walks mystical streets. Everything cool, calm pleasant to the eye ... but ... We probably already tired of the city of Sea food. wszytskie are pretty similar to each other.
Well, during these walks through the city Bozenka suddenly remembered an interesting thing, from here Shama August guinea pigs. And started to search. finally landed in the village Tipon 20 km from the city, famous for the preparation of the best pigs in the area. In addition, about half are cheaper than at restaurants city-it is quite an exclusive product. This meal is experiencing a rather dramatic for people with soft hearts. Pig, which we keep in the house suddenly is on your plate, baked with real hopeless smile on his face. So what ...... says in the soul we all eat it here and this is not some kind of extinction. So, first one leg breaks off .. and later already doing. After half an hour gone the whole rat with a fork and is only small cubes on a plate and light remorse for the soul. Tastes like, certainly not like chicken, were a little pulls and tlusciutka:))) but definitely worth recommending.
After a few days in Cusco we decided it was time for the biggest show.

Machu Picchu is located August some 100 km from the city and despite the visit from August they have already went through 100 years gets there is still some zaglostke for tourists with such a budget like ours. O toz tzry are able to arrive at the place: first
Trekking - depends on what route you can go en masse from the river backpackers famous Inca Trail. But three days on crowded path of not doing us at all. Moreover, as it turned out so many tourists are here, with trza going to do bookings for this tour three months in advance and even pay (CHORE!!) There are also other routes malowniecze few days, on which is practically the same. But we were already a little tired trekingiem.
second Train-the option most expensive and deluxe suites. For the cog railway to Machu Picchu and back trza pay about 100 dollars But there are also options for 200 bucks. Also eliminated third
Car - Full Day poring students we offer the top dozen senior van. This option is most economical and altogether pleasant.
So we got to the car and from there, Hydrelktryki have yet to walk to Aguas Calientes, a village in podnuza Machu Picchu. On the evening zladowalismy in the village, we bought tickets and we made the diagnosis. There is a mass of tourists a day visited the city two thousand. visitors. It is a machine for making money.
The entrance to the Lost City may be accompanied on the climb Wayna Picchu gore (this, which is visible on each photograph with the ruins), however it gets a license, only the first 400 people to ny funny :)))):))) so we Sellout loop tightens even more on your szyii. We decided that we want to enter on the gore and wake up at 4 am to be the first of six on the opening. In the morning, we gathered in the darkness of the beds and we went sleepily step into the darkness. As it turned out, people also want to be crafty, and we walked together to the first checkpoint. And WOGL checks to Machu Picchu are more precise than nalotnisku passports, tickets, non-food, tickets, non-drinking, passports, non-breathing, removing shoes, tickets, etc. .... So the chair. 5 am at the first barrier is the control of the 200 people already .. just in the eye. Already we think is not bad we'll be in czterysecce:))) Suddenly the gate opens and the crowd rushes hour walk uphill. Virtually the same young faces. Who does not have the engine can drive a bus for six, but then there is no certainty he will be the first 400tce. So she moved the machine at the beginning of all they go one step. is warm, people start to sweat but no one followed the order even at the chwiel breather, one can not tie his shoes lest he lose the place. So maybe more people 400T Race in murderous ascent to Machu Picchu :)))) We also we are moving on up the step by step, slowly feeling like your legs refuse to obey. People sit down, the collapse of the air greedily grabs. We are excited - we are ahead, but then also need to stop already. We laugh and annoy the same time with this great parody in which we participate. Finally after an hour coming up to the room and stand in front of the gateway to Machu Picchu along with hundreds of other sweaty and umeczanych people.
have to admit that never were paying so much so to him tired:))) Well, but we are here at this famous spot:)))

And just as we were afraid of disappointment when zmiezalismy these pages as a medicine it disappeared right away, because Machu Picchu is simply amazing. See it with their own eyes is truly an honor. The city on top of mountains surrounded by a magical landscape. We spent practically the whole day there, we connected to the group and listened to stories of the most famous lost city in the world. The ruins are very well preserved a large part of them carefully odrestarowana. Despite the crowd does not feel discomfort. Also on the climb Wayna Picchu was worth the whole farce of the race. Aerial view of the ruins just miodzio. It is difficult to describe in total can see everything on the pictures:)))
met in Machu Picchu, also known to travelers from Gdansk - Celinka Mroz and Jarek Frackowiak, who are already getting ready for the Urubamba river runoff. After a few piwkach roztalismy in the park in August, and like them we also ended in an adventure to Machu Picchu :))))
