Walk the grounds of Machu Picchu from your computer

 

Since posting about Google Street Views, I've learned that others have also discovered the richness of the Street Views coverage. One person told me, "Their (Google's) camera even went down all the pedestrian paths in Parc Buttes Chaumont in Paris."

I thought the amount of time spent visually mapping Machu Picchu was impressive. I'm adding the Parc Buttes Chaumont to my still short list.

I cannot overstate how much I have learned about cities by reading about places posted by the City Daily Photo group and then tracking down the locations in Google Street Views.

I may be in my 70s with a failing heart but I'd still hit the road for some serious travelling but my doctors, grandchildren and wife are standing in my way. I admit to being intimidated.

But, I've found a way to visit the world without leaving London: Google Street Views. Click on this link and you can walk around the Maya ruins at Uxmal in Mexico. Maya ruins at Uxmal 

These links are not quite like strolling about the site but wait till you see how completely Google documented the site we will visit tomorrow.
