South American Adventure

So today, we decided to get to Machu Picchu early to watch the sun rise over the mountain ... very spiritual! We then walked a part of the Inca trail to get to the Intipunku (Sungate), which is 300 meters higher than the Inca city of Machu Picchu. It took about an hour and a half of climbing on a somewhat precarious trail to reach the "summit." Both of us are enjoying the feeling of accomplishment.
