Yes, we actually were at Machu Picchu. My first impression upon seeing it was, "this is MASSIVE!" There was lots and lots of rock terracing in addition to a substantial number of buildings. And not only that, it was perched high on a very steep mountain at an altitude of 7970'. There was lots of grassy area which added both softness and color to contrast with all the stone. And the rock work was amazingly intricate, especially considering the toughest metal they had was tin. The Inca really knew what they were doing.
