Old Ruins On Mountain At Machu Picchu

$Machu Picchu, Aguas Calientes, Peru: Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru on a 2,430-meter (7,970 ft) mountain ridge. It is located in the Machupicchu District within Urubamba Province above the Sacred Valley, which is 80 kilometers (50 mi) northwest of Cusco. The Urubamba River flows past it, cutting through the Cordillera and creating a canyon with a tropical mountain climate.\n\nMost recent archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was constructed as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472).

This was taken later in the day on the second day during my 3 day visit of the ruins. The lower sun lights up the stocks and gives them a warmer appearance.

Lovely Llama and Macchu Picchu

Machu Picchu is an Incan citadel set high in the Andes Mountains in Peru, above the Urubamba River valley. Built in the 15th century and later abandoned, it’s renowned for its sophisticated dry-stone walls that fuse huge blocks without the use of mortar, intriguing buildings that play on astronomical alignments and panoramic views.

I was at Machu Picchu for 3 days and 2 nights. On the second day, I bought a bus ticket for the next day to go from Aguas Calientes, the city at the base, to Machu Picchu. I woke up to pouring rain. I thought, I have enough pictures, I don't want to deal with this rain. But I had already bought a bus ticket for 7 AM. So I went up. On the way up, the rain stopped. After being at the summit for about 15 minutes, the clouds started to move away, and quickly so. I took a bunch of pictures of the scene. Some had too many clouds still enshrouding the mountain, others too few to make it interesting. in about 3 minutes, it was all over. The summit went from being totally obscured by clouds to completely clear. This shot came out best. Enough clouds to make it unique, while offering good visibility. The people at the bottom are tiny and give a sense of scale. It's probably the most awesome scene I have ever witnessed.
