🥇 BEST ALPACA STEAK! 360° Panoramic Peru Rail to MACHU PICCHU & Hot Spring at Aguas Calientes Peru ???????? by @waybeyondpadthai

Machu Picchu is an Incan citadel set high in the Andes Mountains in Cusco, Peru built in the 15th century. It’s renowned for the sophisticated dry-stone walls that fuse huge blocks without the use of mortar. For some reason, we chose Peru Rail to get from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes. Then we gotta take a bus from there to Machu Picchu. The Expedition is the most inexpensive service Peru Rail offers. No food, no drink, nothing but the panoramic view. The Vistadome, the second least expensive Peru Rail offers. For about $30 more expensive, we got a small piece of cake and one drink. Lovely ride, we loved it!

🥈 Trip to Gerês - Miradouro Velho - Pedra Bela | Portugal by @aleister

In yesterday's post, i shared a brief trip to Gerês accompanied with some photographic records of the place in question and at the end of the post i said that today i intended to leave home to take a short walk around Santa Justa sierra, here near home, with my wife and daughter, to get some air and get some exercise, and the need to do so is huge, due to the same circumstances all over the planet.

🥉 New Zealand Adventure - Queenstown-Part 1 by @tomatom

Queenstown was the first place I visited where the "real new zealand" began to show itself. It's a small town located in a stunning area, right on lake Wakatipu. Perhaps I was lucky when I was there, like many scenic locations it's all about the weather and the only day I had really bad weather was the first morning I woke up, but that soon changed, quiete dramatically may I add. Most of the time however the weather was sunny; and when the weather is good, the vibe is good.
