Peru - Machu Picchu

6.30 am - Dracula discovered at Machu Picchu ?





























After a 2 hr guided tour of MP in the mist and rain.... the mist starts to lift.














Michelle and Patrick admire the views














as does Sancha and Patrick......














the sun starts to come out about 9.30am...














the legendary Inca ruins affects people in different ways...















The local town/village nearest to Machu Picchu is called Aguas Calientes (Hot Springs) where all the shuttle buses to MP run from .... you cannot drive up there yourself. The little village is a hub of activity with plenty of tourists coming in by train or bus from Cuzco .....the train line that runs right through the main/only street in the village !

Running in Aguas Calientes....why ? ...why not !
