Cuzco - Machu Picchu

The next day we drove to Aguas Calientes, also called Machu Picchu Town, did somw trek and visited the most impressive ruins left by the Inkas:

The Inka and the Colla (looks like they are having fun):

Took a small at the jungle close to Aguas Calientes:

Impressive granit stones deformed by water:

My mom enjoying the nature:

Followed the train track for a while:

The next day got up at 4 am to walk up the old Inka trail to the city of the mountains:

Made it to the top, but couldn't see much for a while:

Except the llamas:

The watchtower and the shadows of Wayna Picchu behind:

My parents amongst the clouds:

Walked to the Inka Bridge, amazing way, but too foggy:

Waiting and waiting...:

The fog seemed to start clearing:

And after some hours we were able to see the city!!:



So went down and enjoyed it!:

My parents were very impressed by everything!:


Walked everywhere:

Sitting next to the fountain of the Inka:

Under the temple of the sun is this strange room, not clear for what purpose:

Nice view of the city:

And now, some panoramas:

The mountains covered with fog on our way up:

Machu Picchu amongst the clouds:

I like this one specially:

Wayna Picchu was getting clearer:

Another view of the city:


And after this amazing tour, grabbed a bus and drove to the Titikaka lake...
