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.

After watching the link here...worth the ride too!, I watched a couple other videos on the construction periods between the Incas and the Megalithic. Was very interesting. ...and surprised to read Indian Jones was inspired by the guy who discovered it....soooooo...I looked hi M u and surprised how Much he looked like the actor, including the hat.

History is so fascinating!
