Machu Picchu - Peru, Cusco after catching the 5:30am bus, and walking up the hill as quickly as possible, we were rewarded with a gorgeous view of a sun soaked machu picchu

louis - Feb, 02 2008 10:02am Breathtaking view, Machu Pichu was always on my wish list. People who built this city had very developed civilization. wolfie - Feb, 02 2008 12:02pm Great photo. How did you manage to get the shot? rangutan - Feb, 02 2008 09:02pm This zoom is taken from the hill behind the hotel, backtracking a few hundred meters of the "Inca Trail" passing the "upper cultivation terraces"? You were wise and lucky, we arrived at midday. Our visit was washed out by rain an mist, we played chess in the hotel lobby the whole afternoon and had only one dry hour before dusk to get a few pale pics and videos! quikflikchiq - Feb, 02 2008 11:02pm i was standing on the top of the agricultural terraces. i have one or two wide shots but i really like this one for the contrast in the grass and the stone of the buildings. it did rain a little later in the day - after lunch. but we stayed a little longer as most of the tour parties started to clear out then. i'll also post some of the landscape shots from around machu picchu soon. bertison - Feb, 03 2008 07:02am well taken impressive pic, thumbs up :-))
