A year ago we zig-zagged for six days along the Salkantay Trail to Machu Picchu…
…exploring this archeological wonder on the seventh day…
…climbing to the peak of Huayna picchu in the morning…
…and the Sun Gate in the afternoon, with this spectacular view looking back.
An adventure to remember, worth every zig and every zag…

Andrew I love these photos and envy you! I’ve always wanted to see the view from the top of Machu Picchu but I’m so out of shape I may have to wait till they install an escalator!

Great entry! What time of year did you go as I see snow? I did it in 2001 and it was amazing. Loved it so much!

Thanks so much Nicole. We went last June and climbed to the Salkantay pass in a snow storm at 15000 feet. A never-to-be-forgotten day! The rest of the trek was perfect and, like you, loved every minute of our trip.

How exciting and exhilarating was that! Great photos that made me feel as if I was zig zagging right along with you. My photos include a trip as well, but from a slightly different perspective – smile; take a look and enjoy! http://galeweithers.wordpress.com/2014/08/11/one-ziggy-zaggy-afternoon-in-barbados/
