It's 75% original, sits at about 2500m, and was built around 1450. Not really that old. The actual ruins aren't as spectacular and intricate as others but the overall setting makes in incredible. The only way to get there is by train/bus, or to do the 'Inca Trail' which is a 3,4, or 5 day hike. Wiki gives a pretty good summary. Comming back to Cuzco at the end of the month for a few weeks and will be back there again probably.

Spanish is outstanding. The quote reads: 'Cuzco is the happiest city on the planet, therefore we have adapted the gay flag as the symbol of our great home'. Or, words to that effect. (political incorrectness over)

The 'misses' loves it here. She has a real job..... I cook and clean....

Macau My sister used to live there, haven't been for about 4 years but have heard it is a concrete nightmare now.
 
ding ding ding..

Well it *is* a concrete jungle, and now its got monstrous sized casinos everywhere (and I mean huge! Star City would comfortably be the west wing of some of these casinos)

The only saving grace compared to Hong Kong is that all the new development is on reclaimed land rather than the tear-down-build-over approach HK has.
 
Here's one of a yacht I was on - did some charter work through the Philippines Inland Sea, including about 10 Germans - waters are crystal clear. Nice way to spend a few months

kennas,

SWMBO and I are heading that way in December. We are going sailing through the Beagle Channel and Cape Horn for a few weeks then working our way up the west coat, Chile, Peru, eventually getting to Machu Pichu at some point in time, end of December/January?

Got any travel advice, tips, pointers, things to see etc?

Please contact me either through ASF or email.

I'm not sure if you can sail up to Machu Picchu, but will look into it for you.
 
S'pose I could have been more specific.... we are sailing in the South for two weeks, then getting off the yacht ivo Punta Arenas, then working our way North by land!

Although I would love to sail the entire South American coastline.... not on this trip! Cest la vie.
