Sometimes, women in their later years simply do not have the muscle power required for squatting, and many of us come from different cultures and backgrounds that can be respected, rather than being met by lofty sarcasm. i applaud your courage in going to an area that is visited more easily by people in their younger years, and wish you safe travels - and comfortable loos!

Nobody is asking you to use an outhouse anywhere. But, if you condescend to visit Machu Pucchu it may be possible that you need a toilet facility. Then, either you find a convenient tree, behind which you can do whatever you need or you use the modest facility they offer you there. Maybe your parents could have informed you that outside your home you may have to meet with difficulties, and lo! and behold! adapt to them! Your comment is not coherent.

Being in my early 80's, toilets are almost preferred seating. Nothing fancy, but I will not use some local outhouse situated and designated as a cliff-hanger! While llamas poo and stroll away, I have not been raised that wway! Question to those of you have visited Machu Picchu, while you are there, what toilet facilities were provided for tourists?
