Machu Picchu


Having spent 19 days trekking in the near pristene Cordillera Huayhuash we were advised that the 4 day trek along the Inca Trail into Machu Picchu would seem like a tourists´ motorway so we took the lazy option of train and bus!


We did walk back along the trail to the ´door of the sun´ to look at the fortress as those on trail would see it, and it was indeed a busy road!


In addition, we climbed the sacred mountain behind - Wayna Picchu - to view the layout of the city from above; whether it looks like a condor or not is open to interpretation?
