Well we woke up super early and headed to the bus stop. We were told to get there an hour before the bus leaves so that we could get to go to Wandu Picchu. From this overlooking mountain, you can get great pictures of Machu Picchu, but only 300-400 people are allowed up each day. Well, we turned the corner to the bus stop and were shocked at an enormous line! We were not sure if we were in the cut or not, but waited an hour and hoped. Then the line finally started moving and we made our way up the steep mountain on tour buses. After, we waited for an addition 30 minutes to actually get into Machu Picchu and were told when we got to the entrance that Wandu Picchu was full!
A little disappointed but still excited to be at Machu Picchu, we went in to explore. About after an hour of exploring, we found a trail that was called Mount Machu Picchu and decided to go up it a little ways. We found a little hut with a worker and asked him about the trail. It was actually twice as high as Wandu Picchu and you could not only see Machu Picchu but also the tops of the Andes. We decided to climb it. Due to being out of shape and at a really high altitude, it was really hard but really worth it…

This was part of the trail up Mount Machu Picchu. Narrow stairs beside a straight drop!
