Macchu Picchu - 5th March

After a gruelling and tiring 4 day trek along the Inca Trail, we arrived at the famous Sun Gate at 7am, which over looks Macchu Picchu and signifies the end of the trail. After having rain every day of the trail, we somehow managed to go pretty much the whole time with no rain at Macchu, the weather was perfect! 
After taking in the view, we had a 2 hour tour with our guide Roy, and everyone was left to look around on their own. 
We had booked up Huanapicchu, the 'nose' of the face of the god, to climb, which only 400 people can do a day as it is very steep and dangerous. Despite all being shattered, we made it to the top and the view did not disappoint, it was incredible.
