Misty Machu Picchu

This is the day we visited Machu Picchu. The tropical surrounding were such a change after the dry valleys we had travelled through. It is right on the edge of the cloud forest so it´s not surprising we had clouds.

The stonemansonary here is awe inspiring, such large rocks hewn and carried by hand to create a whole city. It was also fascinating to see that a whole community lived and farmed here in such a remote and challenging place.

Again, very touristy but you expect that.
