Disneyworld of the Andes

The infamous Machu Picchu. It does live up to the superlatives; it is stunning, beautiful and amazing, but man is it crowded with tourists. Bay and I were able to escape the throngs of khaki-clad Germans by hiking up Waynupichu, the mountain behind Machu Picchu. It was a steep hike but we had great views looking down on Machu Picchu. It really is amazing to think about how the Incas built these huge structures high up in the mountains without the help of modern technology.
