Aww Alex! you are lucky to go there cos I wanna go there too. I would love to see Machu Picchu and follow the Inca's Trail. Machu Picchu is an awesome place to visit from what I have seen from TV and pictures. I am a bit of a history buff here and am amaze about the Inca Civilization, a very interesting history.
Have a wonderful and safe trip! Alex

Awesome, The view looks amazing in the picture. As far as I know, Peru has a rich history to it's own and it'd be neat to learn more about that as well.

Never heard of that but I'll ask around and find out if it's true, or not.

We have friends (missionaries to the Deaf) in the mountains of Peru, and they've never mentioned any cannibals.

When I visited Ecuador (borders Peru), there was an area we touched that had head-hunter tribes (Auca Indians) but that was many years ago. Our Indian guide refused to go beyond a certain point on the mountain because that tribe still lived there, and they had slaughtered his village, including his parents.

Alex should be fine, no problem.

I can't imagine how eager and anxious you must be heading back to Peru. But I can imagine you taking 'Google' shirts with ya!

Some of the posts that mentions various kinds of tribes may sound spooky somewhat...but fear not. Our own 'da man' (Alex) will make Indian Jones look little and fragile compared to 'da man'! It would sure make a great video if someone videotapes it all...watching 'da man' with a whip and 'Google' shirts come out on top...escaping back to this part of the world within the community of AD!!

Anyhow...enjoy your trip and hopefully it'll be full of adventure and happiness (reuniting with family members)....
