The Lost Inca City of Machu Picchu was the icing on the cake of my trip to Peru. I must admit that everything I read about this magical place before was true. When in the early morning my eyes saw the ruins of Machu Picchu shrouded in shadow, I was simply speechless with delight. The surrounding silence completed the impression of mystery and uniqueness. Then the rays of the sun flashed over the neighboring peaks and everything around exploded with a riot of colors.
