machu picchu

ok, we wanted to climb the huaynapicchu. thing is only 400 people a day can go up.
so we have to go pretty early.
we woke up at 5am, and headed to the bus stop (the buses that take u from the town to the machu picchu citadel).


we got to machu picchu before sunrise, and went to make the line in order to climb el huaynapicchu. we saw the sunrise from there, and after that started to climb.


it is a very "jungly" landscape. yep here some pictures from the top. its machu picchu as seen from the huayna picchu. and also me at the top of the huayna picchu. to see the rest of the team and pictures click on the link at the bottom of the post.



on the way down we reached a cave. that was used as a santuary, and people are still doing they're "pago a la tierra" (offering for the god mountain) and u can see the coca leafs.


then we continued i like the view. like the jungle, the plants and so on. and mixed with stone buildings and stairs in middle of the mountain its just great


after the climb we visited machu picchu. here a picture of us from the typical angle.
