Machu Picchu itself is a pretty stunning place, and much, much larger than we’d thought. It’s actually so large there’s no way to get a sense of scale while on the ground. So in addition to seeing the sun rise over Machu Picchu while arriving there on Sunday morning, Anthony and I took an extra side trip in the afternoon to climb Mount Machu Picchu. From the peak there’s a 360-degree view, including looking right down into Machu Picchu.
Beautiful landscapes! The place is well preserved. How I wish we can live the simple life up in the hills with not a bother! I would just watch the clouds float by everyday and breathe the tranquil air.
Some great photos and many happy memories…..even Day 2!!
