Machu Picchu (at last)

Finally, here is a long-overdue album from the Machu Picchu trip back in March as I am literally packing to return home to the US.

What is Machu Picchu and why was it named one of the new 7 wonders of the world? In short, it is a stone city and Incan religious site on top of a mountain in Peru; it is partly important because the Spanish never found it and destroyed it, so it is mostly intact (except for damage caused by nature's slow reclamation and a few earthquakes).

Here is the Wikipedia on Machu Picchu.

The Chakana or "Incan cross" is a prevalent symbol, so here is the Wikipedia on that too.
