Day 13 & 14

Day 14

Yet another day began with an early start, after an unusual night in a “hyggelig” tent. We started the day with delicious camp food, and tea, and then prepared for a long journey. We hiked what seemed like a million steps, however after reaching our destination we were filled with happiness and glory. We began the day with an interesting tour, about Machu Picchu, and the Incas. The tour was very fascinating and truly gave us an idea of how the Inca civilization was. We learnt that it is still a mystery, how the Incas managed to create such an amazing city on such a high mountain without the technologies we have today. For domestic and agricultural uses the Incas were able to transport water from 2km away with the help of small streams running through the city. After the tour we were given free time, around the site, which gave us an opportunity to experience the city and the surreal surroundings. Like Ben said, we will have the picture of the beautiful mountains in our minds forever and we can always look back on this amazing experience.
