Mission to hike Machu Picchu... in Quechua!

[croemy]

It's funny the fact that some Peruvians think about Quechua as an useless language.

Open cupboards is meaning bad luck in many cultures...Don't forget to close them next time ...

@npapadimo I don't believe in bad luck, and it's not a cupboard, it's the TV "closet"

But I'll keep in mind about cupboards in future for the sake of not scaring superstitious people I suppose :P

Cool! Especially since one of my family members lived in Cusco until recently. She only learned Spanish though (which was the main goal of the journey). Your mission could surely be an equally if not more interesting experience. I learned French in an african country and I keep blaming myself for not learning one of the indigenous languages as well.

Funny reference to the Quechua jacket; that's how I identify that people are from Germany/South America when I see them on the streets. That brand doesn't seem to exist in America at all!
