A friend of ours is going to travel to Machu Picchu in the near future. She's 73 but a long-distance runner. Her husband is from South America, I believe. I think she's a little nuts! ;-)
Jacob, both Pisaq and Machu Picchu are located in southeastern Peru. Pisaq is 1971m (9750 feet) above sea level. I start having problems at around 3500m...
Joan, all Inca sites are in ruins because the spanish destroyed them all in the 16th century...

Are these ruins in the same general area?
And did the elevation bother you at all?
You are very fortunate to have traveled to so manu amazing places. I feel fortunate that you brought a camera. This is great!
The shadows in the second photo are very effective. They add perspective and make the image interesting.
It seems such a pity that these places are now ruins. They stood for so many centuries it seems a waste to let them go now.
