Morning at Machu Picchu

Morning Sunrise at Machu Picchu. We caught the earliest bus to Machu Picchu so we could see the sunrise and watch the clouds lift. There are many llamas at the top and these are just a few who appear to also be watching the sunrise. It was truly magical to be on the mountain early in the morning.
