Only 400 people per day are allowed to hike up. The first 200 go in at 7am (or so), and the rest after 10am. The catch is that the second batch of people are allowed in as people come out. That means you show up at 10am and there is a long line of people waiting, and you have no idea how long the wait will be. There are other interesting hikes.<br />Photo: Szeke<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2501246978102140115-4123754969500331794?l=machupicchuphotos.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>mnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501246978102140115.post-52190332821386984752008-04-22T23:43:00.000+01:002008-04-23T15:14:24.629+01:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj62/mll3_bucket/machu/1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 650px;" src="http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj62/mll3_bucket/machu/1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />The traditional Machu Picchu view.
