South America Trip - Day 25 - Inca Trail Day 4
We got up at 4 am to pack our stuff and get in line to pass the final checkpoint. Once through the race was on! Everyone wanted to get to the Sun Gate for the sunrise some executing dangerous passing manuveres on the narrow trail.
At the Sun Gate we took an obligatory picture of us with Macchu Picchu in the background. On arrival at Macchu Picchu Antonio took us on a one hour tour around the ruins. This was very educational as the site would just be a pile of stones if someone didn´t explain to you the significance of them. What most impressed me was the exactness of the urban planning and the sheer size and accuracy of the masonery work. Incredible!
