Words can't possibly describe this place. I have seen countless pictures and read about it, but nothing prepares you for the setting and the scale of this ancient city sitting on the top of a mountain.
I am so glad Peter and I have seen it now, because climbing all over the area at this height is quite difficult. We took it slowly, but after four hours, we were exhausted.
This isn't the high season, yet the amount of people viewing the sight was staggering. They only allow 2,500 people per day, but a bus arrives at the gate, disgorging people, every 5 minutes.
Peru is a third world country, but they have this tourist thing down to a fine art.
And you need a strong constitution to be on a huge bus, careening up or down the mountain on a one lane track. Corners became quite interesting, not to mention traffic coming the other way!
