Hidden on top of a mountain in the jungle, Machu Picchu was rediscovered in 1911 by an American archaeologist. Nobody`s really sure what it was used for as there are no records of it in the Spanish conquistadors (which is of course in part what saved it from being destroyed). We got there on one of the first buses and were there for sunrise which was beautiful. We then spent most of the day hanging about and exploring the ruins.

This photo was taken early in the morning before the crowds arrive at the inca ruins of Machupicchu, Peru. Well worth hiking the Inca trail for.
