Back to Lima

Back to Lima

 

We are back to Lima, this time in its downtown to discover the city and enjoy 2 relax days before flying back to Europe. Then to say Adios to Latin America, which is wonderful.

But first, one picture showing the effect of 4000 meter pressure difference on one empty plastic bottle ;-)

Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu

MACHU PICCHUUUuuuuu : CONQUERED! :-) YES!

Spent one whole day there. Among the first visitors to get in (6 AM!) and the last ones to leave (5 PM)!

It is such an amazing place! The most wonderful site each of us has been able to see until now!

The bonus : admiring Machu Picchu from the top of the mountain next to it, Huayna Picchu.

Still, you have to deserve it. It is an impressive climb up (and down)!

They probably used Photoshop for this one ;-)  Still, if you are lucky and at the exact right place, reality can almost look like it.
