When I went to Machu Picchu I was worried about there being too many tourists on the ruins. But by waiting till late afternoon I was able to photograph the site ever which way without a tourist appearing in any shot.
It takes about 40 minutes to climb Huayna Picchu from Machu Picchu but only a small percentage of visitors make the effort to climb up on the mountain’s trail. The only problem of photography from the Huayna Picchu side is that the mountain adds a lot to the site and only photos from the other side include the big tooth of the mountain.
Excellent video! Thanks so much for posting.
The qhapaq ñan. I have spent hundreds of hours following these using Google Earth. Love to go there someday.
It is a really weird trip and you have to bring antibiotics in case you get parasites. Don’t drink the water. Brush your teeth with bottled water and keep your mouth shut in the shower. We in America don’t understand how clean our environment is on a world continuum.
Nice vid. When we were there one of the impressive things was how the bus drivers of those large buses were able to safely navigate that windy dirt road with many switchbacks without hurling us over the cliffs (there were no guardrails). They had to navigate back and forth to make many of the turns...and there were buses coming down as we were going up. The site was unique and quite incredible.
Thank you, Osage Orange, for this post.
It was very nice to view their walk!
I admit just watching where they were walking gave me chills!
That was enjoyable. Thanks for posting.
