Money shot! The ruins photographed from a common viewing point. The taller peak in the background is Wayna Picchu (or Huayna Picchu), and it is possible to climb to the top for a different view of the ruins. You need a special permit to do this - check it out before you go.

A view down into the valley as we work our way around the hill toward Machu Picchu. Part of this trail is on the old Inca trail system, and if you look closely you can see the stonework. There is a classic hike to Machu Picchu called the "Inca Trail" but, in reality, the area is full of Inca trails.
