Visiting Machu Picchu – A Dream Come True!!

What is at the top of your Bucket List? For me, it’s been Machu Picchu for several years now. I’ve seen dozens of pictures, videos, blog posts, post cards, and documentaries. Every time, I saw one of my Travel Blogger friends take the Iconic Picture of themselves, I wondered if I would ever get there or would it just stay a dream? The thing about dreams is that they can stay as mere hopes or wishes unless you take dramatic and decisive action! Having been to 72 countries on 6 continents, sometimes you get bored of seeing church after church or temple after temple or museum after museum or mountain after mountain. However, Machu Picchu is a unique site unlike any other on this planet! Being there in person was super super impactful on every level: spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical. In fact, I was in tears a number of times as I couldn’t hold in all the joy and happiness associated with the feeling of having a dream come true! There are 3 major ways to get to Machu Picchu: 1) Trekking – the classic way to get to Machu Picchu is to do the Inca Trail or several other trails. However, since we are traveling with toddlers and a baby, we decided to take Peru Rail. Maybe one day we will come back with our kids and all of us will do the Inca Trail together. “Right, Rianne, Ryan, and Renzo?”
