Highlights:
- Hiking to the main gate (fast) with the 50 others at 4am to get a spot to hike Waynupicchu
- Observing from a psychological perspective, what happens when 50+ people under 30, Hike at 4am to get a position in line with "respect" haha. Single file? Almost, some elbows were thrown. Humans are competitive by nature.
-Entering the ruins with no people, rising fog, and a camera.
Touristy experiences such as this, at one of the most popular tourist desinations in the world, helps to put into perspective how much I have enjoyed and valued the time we´ve spent on this trip so far. We have gone relatively under the radar visiting amazing places with no tourists while spending time with locals. While visiting Machu Picchu was one of the most amazing places I´ve been to, it was hard to feel the energy when it got crowded after mid-day. One bit of advice if visiting, be there before the gates open. This is a place to definately not miss if traveling in Peru.
