Just off the scariest mini-van ride of my life, my team and I hopped out after 7 hours of riding on the cliffside of mountains on our way to Machu Picchu. We took a mini-van from Cusco to Hidroelectrica, the checkpoint that begins the hike to Aguas Calientes, the town that is closest to Machu Picchu. The ride took us through the Sacred Valley, a region filled with some of the most beautiful views of mountains, valleys, and rolling hills I have ever seen. Once we hopped out of the van we were greeted with a gorgeous 6 mile hike to get to the touristy town of Aguas Calientes.
This vid has some of the views of the hike and some of the fun we had while going! Definitely thankful for a God who allows us to experience great adventures like these while reminding us of His power through His creation of beautiful jungle, hills that seem to stretch on forever, and huge mountains that reach up through the clouds.
Thanks for the panorama up tip, Gail

Some super flattering photos of us to end off 🙂
Sorry for some of the quality, WiFi will only upload pics from my phone and will not upload the full quality video to YouTube… but something is better than nothing! It should still be 1080p. Hope you enjoy and are inspired!
