After lunch at Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge the sun came out and we took our first walk to see the ruins. It was truly amazing! It is much larger than the pictures depict and again the architecture is spectacular.
I am so happy that we are staying up at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary hotel, I can’t imagine having to go up and down the switchbacks every day. Tomorrow we getting up at 5:30 am to get Troy and one other person on our trip a ticket to go up to Huayna Picchu. I am passing on this hike as the vertical climb back down seems to be a little too much for me. Instead, Terri and I are going with our guide up to the Sun Gate. We will be at a higher elevation than Troy, but the incline is less steep.
