Hidden Gem of the Incas

Machu Picchu

Per the recommendations of everyone we'd met that had already seen the majestic site, we arrived at Machu Picchu in time to watch the sunrise. We then spent the day touring the large ruin, catching bits of "insider info" from the various tour leaders that spoke loud enough to be overheard by freeloaders like us. For this amazing experience, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
