Around Machu Picchu!

There are so many amazing spots that are worthy of so much better of a photographer, but here are our feeble attempts to capture it all!


The northern district... with a llama posing just for us!


A llama in front of the Agricultural zone!


This rock was carved to line up with the mountains behind it... pretty cool, eh?


This window has a view!




Here is a sample of the amazing mortar-less construction the Incans used! They carved this granite to fit perfectly together!



The Sun Temple... the windows line up to the equinox and solstice.


I'm sure this gave these girls a bit of a fright, but I am SO glad we caught it with the camera!





The temple of the three windows to the left there and then sacred plaza on top of the hill there.
