ive never seen any place more beautiful---Choquequirao (maccha pichu's big sister)

this guaranteed to take your stress away for 20 min

so beautiful!

Stunning place but I couldn't be climbing those terraces for fear off falling off. I went up to the top of the big pyramid at Chichen Itza (when you were still able to) and it took me a while to gather the courage for the descent.

Many people at the top were having panic attacks once they realised that they had to go back down the same way they came up and one slip would mean death. The only kind of a lifeline was a thick rope that went from the top of the steps to the bottom. Scary stuff.

im not surprised their fear and nervousness
but those same people----if they had to do it everyday they develop mindfulness, confidence and ease and it becomes ordinary
i worked many years as a windowcleaner. after a while your very nature becomes 'i dont make mistakes'

WOW.

But what happened to the people?

my guess is all these great civilizations have a golden age then slowly slowly they degenerate or get exterminated---just
like our present one---we are in the process of being exterminated. then a reset---they take away our children and start again

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

thanks OP.. i spent two weeks in Peru with a ex-pat amateur archaeologist. .. some of the off beaten path ruins are amazing..

hell if i had known 2020 was gonna be like this.. i'd be laying low, high up in the andes, petting llamas..

The bus ride up is nearly as breath-taking as the destined views.



An Extraordinary place tho, four sure.
