Machu Picchu - Entry one
The Sun Gate or Intipunka is where the 4 day walkers get their first view of Machu Picchu (MP). It took me just 40 minutes to huff my way up from the Guard House after catching the 7 am Vistadome train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes.

Tomorrow we are going back to Machu Picchu, then we will be leaving for Cusco in the …

Then at 5 o clock Freddie was bringing the group to a nearby site....5 minutes away. Ailish was feeling a little off and ...
Getting closer to the Incas
... to get there quicker. We passed the bridge, where we would have to hike over the river tomorrow on our way to Machu Picchu, so that we would be prepared for our early start. The town of Aguas Calientes is quite high itself and so it was a bit of a hike, as we got nearer. Frank showed us to our hostel and we tried to have a hot shower, but to no avail.
