Robin and I

Lots of extra hands for photos when in a guided group. It was well worth it. Our guide was great.

We were pretty glad we did the early morning trek up there, then could see how the fog lifted and became such a beautiful sunny day.

Nice touch

Had about a half dozen llamas wandering around the park for all us gushing tourists

Excavations continue

Pretty interesting to know that this site is still in a discovery phase after such a long time.

Another view of Wayapicchu

They would let 200 in the morning, and another 200 mid-day to climb Wayapicchu. We spoke with some that did, and it was pretty awesome when you finally reach the top. Had to do some spider climbing near the top we heard. Robin and I just weren't up to it.
