Machu Picchu & some other ruins

We took the 6 am bus up to the ruins and were amongst the first there.


The hill in the background is called Wayna Picchu and being the group of hikers that we were (myself excluded), our first order of business was to climb to the top of it. Interesting stat: 15 people a year die climbing it.

The next day, our guide took us to see/feed some llamas




Saksaywaman (sp?) ruins outside of Cusco. Some of these rocks used weigh 120 tons.
