Day 37: Machu Picchu

Very special day at one of New 7 Wonders of the World Machu Picchu!

We woke up at 5:30 for our entrance time at 7am. With it being the rainy season, there was a chance that the fog and rain clouds wouldn’t clear. We didn’t get to see the epic and most famous shot at altitude, but our guide Ramiro we met on the street walked us down the ruins and beat the the crowd.

We then hiked down from the park on the Camino Peatonal Trail and enjoyed empanadas, beer, and the Inca Museum. After walking back to Aguas Calientes, we took a long nap.

For dinner, found an amazing craft brew house that makes beer in Aguas Calientes and made the first Sour Beer in Peru. We finally tried alpaca and guinea pig and claimed today as true Valentines Day.
