The lounge and bar area of #BelmondMonasterio in #Cusco, #Peru. I was really happy with all of the accommodations that #KuodaTravel arranged for us.

This #llama decided to take a stroll along the walking paths. Apparently, it didn't get the memo to ignore all the people.

#Llamas roam freely at #MachuPicchu. They are very good at ignoring all of the people.

Always trying to remember to duck when trying to get through tight places as quickly as possible. This is the only part of the trail that leads you literally through the mountain.

What goes up, must come down. It's a tight squeeze coming down from the peak of #HuaynaPicchu. Since there is less space at the peak, the trail becomes one way up and a separate way down.

The tippy top of #HuaynaPicchu - 2667 meters/8751 feet. Who doesn't love a good walk through the clouds?

The best views of #MachuPicchu are before you reach the summit of #HuaynaPicchu. Which is wonderful, because you will be tired and it's an excellent reason to stop and rest.

If you see this picture, along with text claiming #HuaynaPicchu was the hardest/scariest hike they've ever done, you do not climb these stairs. You simply walk past them. I really don't like disingenuous posts.

Hiking #HuaynaPicchu is not recommended for those who suffer from vertigo or are afraid of heights. The path is narrow and only allows for a single person in many areas. The ascent is approximately 1181 feet.

To hike #HuaynaPichhu you have to present your passport and sign in at the check point. Only 400 people are allowed to #hike per day. Tickets should be purchased at least 2-3 months in advance.

If you want a bird's eye view of #MachuPicchu, signing up to hike #HuaynaPicchu might be for you. The entrance is located within Machu Picchu, so you must purchase a ticket for both.

If you have yet to see a #llama in #Peru, you will see them at #MachuPicchu. They generally stay in the main square but have been known to decide to walk on the paths.

Be sure to wear good hiking shoes when you visit #MachuPichhu. There are a lot of stairs and it gets slippery if it rains.

I love walking through clouds! The part of the #AndesMountains that #MachuPicchu is located in is also called a #CloudForest.

#MachuPicchu is situated in the #AndesMountains at 2,440 meters above sea level. It is actually lower than Cusco.

A view of #MachuPicchu from the back. Our guide took us to multiple vantage points before we went into the heart of the complex.

Visiting #MachuPicchu has been a dream of mine since 7th grade social studies class, when I saw a poster on the wall of my classroom and asked my teacher, "What is that? Where is that?" I think he'd be thrilled to know I actually made it here.

The bus ride to #MachuPicchu from Aguas Calientes is about 25 minutes. You can purchase tickets at the bus stop or online. I don't think driving through #clouds will ever get old for me.

The ride up to #MachuPicchu is relatively terrifying, as there are no guard rails, blind curves, not nearly enough room for buses to inch around each other, but the scenery is fantastic.

Only buses are allowed to drive up and down the #road to Machu Picchu. It's a narrow and bumpy ride.

There are three choices for getting to #MachuPicchu: a 4 day hike on the #IncanTrail, a 25 min bus ride, or a 1 1/2 uphill hike from Aguas Calientes. With time being a limiting factor, we chose the bus.

The town of #AguasCalientes is nestled deep in a valley of the #AndesMountains.

The only way into #AguasCalientes in by foot or train. There are no cars in town; however, there are buses to take you to Machu Picchu.
