Okay, this is what you first see when you get past the ticket takers at Macchu Picchu. I arrived at about 8am and there was hardly anyone there. Monday during the off season was a good choice. Also, it had rained the day before, and it rained the day after, so I was pretty lucky. It was sunny pretty much the whole time I was there. It only sprinkled a little bit when I was coming back from the Sun Gate.
