There is nothing like hiking off the beaten path. Leaving a world of cars, computers, and cell phones behind, it is invigorating to travel to a land and place where technology and progress are irrelevant. Head into the Andes mountains high above the Urubamba River and experience one of the world's most sacred remains.
Machu Picchu is an old Incan ruin that cannot be accessed by car or plane. While a windy train ride will get travelers close to the ruins, only backpackers can reach the sacred land, and they must travel by foot. Time is running out however, and as "adventure" travel becomes more appealing, Machu Piccho will become overrun with tourists. For now, enjoy the daily visitor limit that the Peruvians have implemented to preserve their sacred history, and experience Machu Picchu for yourself.

This is on my "go someday" list. When I first saw it, I thought you were going to say you were going for spring break. And I was going to throttle you. :-P
I want to go there so bad!
