We decided to climb up the “Big” side
About 1/2 way up, the fog kinda starts to drift off and we all rushed for our cameras. ..
….slowly it went away….
…super slowly….
kinda still there, but moving…
and voila! Machu Picchu
Even tho we knew what it looked it, it still took my breath away.

There it is! Finally I can see it!
The zig zag road you see is the bus route down. We of course decided to walk..I mean, after what we had done, what’s another 90 mins? My knees begged to differe.

I am happy to say it was bright enough that I had to put my hand up.
Look! I see a Machu Picchu in the distance.
I truly could have stared at it for hours.
Machu Picchu alone is amazing. When you consider it’s surroundings, it just makes it that much more magical and mystical.
I was holding on for dear life.
There was a large, sudden, loooooooooooooooooong drop beneath this man….who was just sitting on the ledge…
…and then decided to pick his foot up. Silly tourist.
This was one of the ways down from the top….
Not a bad view on the way down.
This was a storage room built at the very top of Wayna Picchu.
Steep is not the word.
Just to the right of the stairs is a drop off.

We didn’t think there were many options here. Either up or down, but I guess that someone wanted to make sure the tourists didn’t get lost.

LLamas at Machu Picchu

We finally got up close and personal with a Machu Picchu llama. James was skyed! Let’s take a look into their llama home…
…woah! llamas!
More inquisitive minds….
Unfortunately, we scared them off….and then went running to the other end of their home.
…and then out the door on the other end, startling the tourists who had no idea they were next to a llama house…
Excuse me sir, don’t mind if I do.
And then the llama parade started up the staircase. To watch as a bystander was HILARIOUS!
This guy had no idea there was a parade of llamas behind him.
He finally moved out of the way.
‘Cuse us….coming thru!

“Move it lady!”
“Do you mind? You are in my way”
Apparently the llama wasn’t too keen on having it’s foto taken.
The llama and the dog were having a standoff.
Finally, happy llamas on the hillside.

Yay! Llamas…
