Machu Picchu Travel Guide: 766 reviews and 1,779 photos

My Holy Grail.

Its very difficult to get photos of such a famous landmark,that other people havent taken,so I`ve tried to do just that...

The Watchtower

This is one of my favourite photos.
this was perfection personified for me,it summed up the whole place.
Also called the Caretakers Hut,its situated in the Agriculture sector,high above the main entrance,overlooking the whole city.

Perfectly shaped

Another fine example of Inca engineering,a perfect trapezoidal door leading through to another mysterious surprise.....
You can see Huayna Picchu in the background.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Wonderful atmosphere,beautiful scenery.
  • Cons:50 cents to use toilets ..when I didnt have any !!!
  • In a nutshell:One of those places you just have to go and see
