We woke up early in Aguas Calientes, after having arrived very late the night before, had a good breakfast in the hotel, and got ready for our big day at Machu Picchu. We were only a couple blocks from the bus station in Aguas Calientes, so we made our way up the hill and onto the buses that take you from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu.
It was a perfect day for Machu Picchu...not to hot, and not cold at all. The morning was full of mist and fog, which added to the beauty of the ruins, and by 10:00am the sun had burned off most of the fog and clouds.
We were able to walk all around the ruins and we were there early enough to avoid all the large tour groups (by the time we were leaving, there were thousands of people...pouring in by the bus load).
We headed down from Machu Picchu to Aguas Calientes in the afternoon and caught an afternoon bus back to Ollantaytambo and our shuttle back up the hill to Cuzco to the Hilton Garden Inn, where we would make our base for the next 3 nights.
