Our Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca Adventure: Nothing prepares you for Machu Picchu, not pictures, descriptions, or words. Going to Machu Picchu has been a dream of mine for many years. Although I'd read about the amazing accomplishments, the actual trip, with a fantastic guide whose name is Marco, brought this journey to life and gave it its due. This is a magnificent country, with vistas that defy imagination.
