I've always wanted to go on this adventure and take the 13,000+ hike out to MP but so far haven't worked this into my schedule. So for the moment the next best thing is a gigapixel view of the mountaintop community. I hope you enjoy. Check out the trail that leads to the far mountain peak that is much less travelled by.

I think that Karl Pilkington's (who is a British renowned travel TV explorer presenter and writer) expose of Machu Picchu is probably the most accurate I've I come across on the main stream TV travel guides.

After visiting Chitchen Itza, I can whole heartly agree with his viewpoint on this Mexican Tourist Iconic historic site.
