Thought to have been built for the Inca family and the Quechua people, the story goes that just 80 years after building it, the inhabitants got news of Spanish invasion and abandoned Machu Pichu. The irony being the Spanish did not discover the site, never venturing to the mountains peak.
For us, it was a day of discovery. Waking up at 4 in the morning and taking the dark path out of Aguas Calientes to see the misty dawn on the mountain was spectacular. Well worth the lack of sleep.
We spent the day taking the mandatory selfies and gasping at the view, but also glimpsed hummingbirds and did handstands. Though only for a small Peruvian lady to bustle down the steps towards us and make us delete all the photos where we were not stood on two feet.
We have added our pictures to a separate album, mines the acrobatics.
