It’s really not that great. I know it’s famous, I know it’s the one thing people think of when you mention Peru, but honestly it was the biggest let down. I agree with Tiago’s comment, a lot of Machu Picchu is actually very reconstructed, meaning it’s not entirely real. I skipped the Inca trail and opted for a hike through a more remote part of the Andes. I highly, highly recommend this. Also, make sure to check out some of the lesser-known ruins. They are far more authentic, less crowded, and infinitely more rewarding.

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of going to Machu Picchu. I was first inspired by a photograph in my social studies book in 5th grade, and I thought there couldn’t be a more beautiful place on this earth. I hope I make it one day.

It was valid as an experience, but figuring out 70% of it is actually made up kind of got me frustrated. The Salkantay trail was absolutelly fantastic, though!
