My dad and I were going on a trip to Machu Picchu and a week or two before we left I thought about doing MAchu Picchu for my Capstone.

What I learned From the Machu Picchu Trip was that the Incas were incredible at everything and never backed out of a challenge. For example the Incas had to put together walls without using any mortar. Which meant they had to cut the stone perfectly in line with all the other stones. If they the slightest mistake and they would start over and go get a new rock. Another example is taking the rocks over to Machu Picchu. They had to pull rocks seven or eight miles to build the walls! They would do that all day and it would be so tiring. Eventually when they thought they were done they would have to bring more. Machu Picchu had a capacity of only 800 people which meant some people had to walk 10-15 miles to get to Machu Picchu. There were more llamas than people at Machu Picchu Which meant the llamas were helping the Incas carry around all the rocks.

Now at Machu Picchu you can come and visit the place. If you get lucky you can play with the llamas. I happened to get lucky and I got to play with one. The llamas are still at Machu Picchu because they use the llamas as lawnmowers so they don’t disturb the area.
