Machu Picchu - Peru

The train to Aqua Caliente(the town to get to Machu Picchu)!! Machu Picchu lived up to everything we had heard. We had a great experience!





Yeah!!!
We got up at 4:30AM to head out to get on the bus to take us to Machu Picchu!! The bus ride from Aqua Caliente to Machu Picchu took about 15 minutes straight up the mountain!
The following pictures are of Machu Picchu, its an amazing site built in the middle of beautiful mountains!!

Machu Picchu is slowly shifting, these are signs of it

Llamas!!






We werent one of the first 400 people who got a ticket to climb up Waynappichu , but we met these nice people that gave us their tickets!!! We made the hike up to get amazing views of Machu Picchu from 2634 Meters high!

That zig zag road is the road from Aqua Caliente to Machu Picchu








There were about 10 llamas at roamed freely around the Machu Picchu grounds


We had an amazing day at Machu Picchu with perfect weather! A great way to spend my birthday!!
