Outside Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is pleasant and interesting in the late afternoon. It gets to be a long day if you arrive at dawn.

Lone Tree in Machu Picchu

This is the only tree inside Machu Picchu. It is a very privileged tree together with the Llamas. They are the only ones who can go to the grassy areas. Peru.
