While many people have Machu Picchu on their bucket list, neither my daughter nor I were amongst them. When the opportunity arose, I went because of my interest in travel and photography. She went to humor me. I’d never been particularly enthralled by the photos of Machu Picchu. I mentally understood the importance of an ancient city, captured en toto as if the entire population had suddenly been run off. Gail Clifford
But standing on the terraces, overlooking the Citadel, and walking within it, where a city of people lived, loved and died hundreds of years ago, I understood the mystical and spiritual nature of the place as no photograph could quite capture.
