first vew was from mountains opposite we hiked a little used inca trail;cutting our way through the vegetation and was rewarded when the clouds lifted and saw machu pichua exposed;
the next time was arriving at the sun gate and looking down on the city
as this was late afternoon the site was empty to wander around
contrast this with this morning ; fourteen us dollars for retutn bus trip; horads of tourists and constant chatter of guides the paying thirteen soles for an inca cola
yse it is amazing but go in the afternnon and see it from a far to appreciate it
