The highlight of this "adventure" is to visit Machu Pichu and to absorb the culture of the Inca city of Cuzco. The news from Peru a few days ago of a bus crash in the Andes mountains does qualify this trip as an adventure!
Googling for news of this tragedy we discovered there was another bus crash near Cuzco the week before. http://www.ntn24news.com/latinamericanews/21811-peru-4-killed-bus-accident
Deadly accidents are common on Peru's narrow Andean highways. Every year about 3,000 people are killed and 50,000 are injured in road accidents, according to official statistics.
Travelling is not easy but one needs to keep focused on the goals and just look at this satellite image of Machu Pichu (right foreground) - its spectacular!
