Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is considered one of the new 7 wonders of the world and I firmly agree with that - it's beauty is stunning.
We arrived at Aguas Calientes the night before and started the trek of the 1610 steps up to Machu Picchu at 4am in the morning. It was a tough trek that took us an hour and a half but the satisfaction was great, especially seeing the many people who took the bus up. We picked up our tickets to climb Wanipicchu before having a 3 hour guided tour of the site. The Incas were an extremely talented race and their engineering feat here is fantastic.
We climbed Wanipicchu shortly after 10am then trekked to the Sun Gate to the East before taking the bus back down to town to catch our train back to Olyantambo.
What a wonderful day - one we will never forget!
