Inca Trail - Day 5 - Machu Picchu arrives

Map of the overall sight (might be a little too Small to read the detail.)
Doing my bit for Ch´s !!!

The view arriving at the Sungate, before sunrise. We´d hiked 2 hours in the dark to both get there for sunrise & more importantly the other tourists.

The Sun dial in the centre of Machu Picchu. It´s located in the centre of the 4 surrounding mountains. This picture looks north at Wayna Picchu that 6 of us decided to climb; like we´d not done enough hiking prior).

Guto - dead at the top of Wayna Picchu (Imprint next to him wasn´t where he landed first!)

Me feeling slightly less dead before the downward climb

& then climbing down it!!


Once down we had a few hours to wait for the train. All the restaurants are lined up along the track making it all a little bizarre to dine !!!
