Another view of long time Bucket List, the 15th century Inca site of Machu Picchu. The Inca city must have been a thriving civilization at one time. We spent a lot of time on the adjacent meadow contemplating what it must have been like to have resided in this breathtakingly beautiful setting. It truly is spectacular!
Stuhr Museum is a hands on living experience located in Grand Island, Nebraska dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Pioneers. This barn was one of dozens of buildings on the grounds, which includes an 1890's village, a farmstead, Pawnee Earth lodge, railroad town, school, church and various antique farm machinery.
Long time Bucket List location Machu Picchu is a 15th century Inca site located on a mountain ridge above the Sacred Valley. It was built around 1450, and abandoned 100 years later as a result of the Spanish Conquest. The mountain behind Machu Picchu is Huayna Picchu. We made the almost 1200' trek to the top of this peak. The views were breathtaking! From the overly scenic rail trip through the Sacred Valley, to the crowded bus trip up the switchbacks to sitting on the ledge overlooking the ancient Inca city, Machu Picchu will always be a special place to remember, an experience never to be forgotten.
