And here is my guide. When I think about Machu Picchu or see it in my mind, I hear his voice.
This guide was able to share his sense of the spirit of the Incas, what they believed and how they lived and put these feeling as an overlay onto Machu Picchu. He answered every question with what I took to be a well read, thoughtful, and heartfelt response.
It is a large and complicated place and from all accounts no one really knows much about the purpose or use. We know this is true because the ‘true story’ has changed many times since its rediscovery in 1911.
I know if I had been tromping around here by myself or just listening as part of a group it would have been a much different experience.
