My son and daughter-in-law are currently in Cusco, Peru, which has an elevation of 11,200 ft (!). They will soon head to Machu Picchu. My son has now been in every continent except Antarctica.
I got vicious altitude sickness in Cusco despite living in CO.
Machu Picchu was life changing.
@LnzyHou I need minions to carry me up on a litter. 🤣
Nah. Train from Cusco to Aquas Caliente through the valley then a bus up to Machu Picchu. You don’t have to crawl or climb unless you want to.
@LnzyHou Much better
@poemblaze @LnzyHou The highlights of my two Peru trips were actually the Sacred Valley, Sacsayhuamán, Arequipa, Paracas (was there before the big earthquake) and Huanchaco/Chan Chan/Trujillo.
@KamloopsBob @LnzyHou I have some reading to do learning about those places.
Absolutely magical

Make plans & go
