Got back around a week ago from Peru. The wife dragged me all over the dang country. Lots of stairs! From the Peruvian Amazon to Machu Picchu, Lima, Cusco, Lake Titti Caca. (Having a hard time loading up photos admin.)

Glad to see you guys had a good time E..
If I could go anywhere in the world, it would be Machu Picchu.
Its amazing. Pictures just dont do it justice. It was thundering and raining on the peaks east of us. Rainy season just starting.
Ya might need oxygen and coca leaf and coca tea.
The city of Cusco is much higher though, like 12,000 ft. Some people could barely get out if bed due to altitude sickness

The island of Tequile in Lake Titticaca is over 12,000ft. Its such a large lake you cannot see land from out in the middle.
All solar powered, no generators, vehicle's. Ya gotta hike.
The people speak the native language. Takes 2 1/2 hours to get there by boat.
The peaks in the distance are in Bolivia.
The girl leading the way is our private tour guide. I had a hard time keeping up with my wife and her.

Ernesto looks like you had some decent weather. We didn't quite get there but fairly close after our Antarctica cruise sailing up the Chile Coast getting off the ship at Santiago
Jon, great weather even in the Amazon it was only 90F. It is springtime there as you would know. Nice and chilly in the mornings. Also had some fresh trout that was amazing. Apparently the lake is full if trout.
Lunch in Taquile.

Here's one High. Besides almost every home has solar and batterys to store electricity; here is a solar powered pumping station that pumps water to the top of the island, then gets distributed around the island .
Plus a few path lights.
Government supplied.

Churches, if you like old Catholic churches there are like 12 just in Cusco alone. Each one has numerous smaller mini altars. In the large cathedrals I counted sixteen in one alone for different Saints all lavishly covered in gold and silver. One could spend weeks just visiting churches.
