Hello my fellow Steemit friends. It has been a while since I have posted and I must say I am very pleased to see how well Steemit is doing. The community has grown, the content has matured, and there has been many updates and refinements which noticeably make things a lot better.

I continue to travel and visit new and exotic places and as a result, have much to share with you. Sites I have seen, cultures I have learned about, and pictures I have taken, all in hopes of sharing just a little bit of what I have been lucky enough to experience.

Today I share with you pictures from a trip I did to Machu Pichuu - one of the many places that I suggest one should visit at least once in their lifetime. It's as peaceful and spiritual as it is beautiful.

Machu Picchu is all that remains of the lost Incan civilization in Peru before it was ravaged by the Spanish

Congratulations ! Your post has been highlighted in the Daily Travel Reports

does that mean "cool?" If so thanks

Would like to see this in person.

Yep. It is a lot better in person

They are mind blowing. I have read about Machu Pichu since my childhood. Now I have a look more closer by your pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Anytime. I hope you get the chance to visit one day. Pictures really don't do it justice. To really appreciate it, you need to experience it first hand

This is definitely something I would love to visit in the future. Great pictures and thanks for sharing those with us! I am just jealous when I am looking to them ^^

You should definitely put it on your bucket list of places to visit. Highly recommended. Thanks for commenting!!

The problem with such a list is that it is getting huger and huger :D

True. So much to see and so little time!

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed them!!
