View towards the Machu Picchu site and Huayna Picchu from the junction of the Inca Trail and the Machu Picchu Mountain Trail.
Machu Picchu
The Inca Bridge, at the lower left of the photo. It's actually planks over a collapsed section of the a pathway along a sheer wall. You can't get all the way down to it (too dangerous), but it illustrates the ingenuity of the people who built these trails.
A side trail when in the Machu Picchu park goes out to the "Inca Bridge". You can't get all the way down to the bridge, but it's a fun walk atop steep walls down to the viewing point.
Another beautiful view of the ruins.
The view of the ruins you see when you enter from the Sun Gate. The traditional "Inca Trail" brings visitors in this way.In ancient times, this was a (maybe the) main entrance.
Money shot! The ruins photographed from a common viewing point. The taller peak in the background is Wayna Picchu (or Huayna Picchu), and it is possible to climb to the top for a different view of the ruins. You need a special permit to do this - check it out before you go.
