We arrived into Machu Picchu town (also known as Aquas Calientes). It's not a pretty town as it's main purpose is to serve the tourists going to Machu Picchu. Still, the setting was magnificent in a steep valley and a train track that runs right through the town.
We got up at 5.00 am to go to Machu Pucchu. It was foggy and magical at 6.30 by the time we got through the main gates. It was breath taking. Some pictures below.
Then Alé and I climbed Machu Pucchu Mountain (700 meters) in less than 2 hours! We were tight on time. It was thrilling. Unfortunately, it was too cloudy to get a view from the very top but the views and flora were stunning on the way up and down. It was one of the highlights of my trip.
