When you walk down the path away from the Trekker's Hotel, less than 10 minutes away you will turn a corner in the path and suddenly be confronted with this view.... Terraces down the mountainside, stone ruins up high and down low, a string of ceremonial baths connecting them and a beautiful waterfall as a backdrop behind the ruins. This might be my favorite place along the whole trail... I mean Machu Picchu is not to be missed, but something about this place seemed almost magical... The ruins, the views, the waterfalls - it really is a spectacular combination.

So, considering how much space I've devoted to the other parts of the trek, there was no way I could fit this part into one page. There are three pages here: the first page is the broader view with some shots that include the Ruins & The Mountains; the second page is devoted to the Waterfalls; and, the last page has some shots from and of the two temples.

Start Here, or go directly to any of the pages below:

	The Ruins & The Mountains
	The Waterfalls
	The Temples

We headed out around 4:00, past the Trekker's Hotel (which seems grossly out of place and even at 4:00 in the afternoon there were people hanging out drinking beer) and down the path to The Ruins...
