Machu Picchu - 20th and 21st October



Machu Picchu was really fantastic. It looks just like the postcards! We all caught the train up on Wednesday morning - the views through the Sacred Valley were amazing. Checked into our hotel which looked like a treehouse and then headed up the mountain for a delicious buffet lunch.






The next morning we got up super early and it was really sunny which was good as everyone had told us it would be wet. Luckily, we were just in time to get our tickets stamped to be able to climb up Huaynu Picchu, which we did impressively quickly as we had to meet Anna`s parents and the guide an hour and a quarter later. The city itself is incredible and having a guide was really interesting. We ended the day with an amazing view over the citadel, even if it was slightly spoiled by an American very obviously meditating where everyone was trying to take photos.
