4:15am up to catch a bus to Machu Picchu. On the bus about 5:45am and caught the sunrise from the guard house! Then a 45 minute hike to the Sun Gate, back down and turn left to get out to the the bridge. All of it is amazing! I cannot tell you how the Incas accomplished all they did in just shy of a hundred years! I saw a snake and I guess it is unusual to ever see one, AND I just found out is is a coral snake and poisonous! In 15 minutes we leave for lunch, then train ride to Ollantaytambo, the van to Cuzco…late arrival for shower dinner and sleep!
