Approaching Machu Picchu from the Sun Gate.
We received a brief report from Lead Guide Adam Angel today, August 3. Here is Adam’s report:
“Team is strong and having a great time. Looking down on Aguas Calientes from Phuyupatamarca. Excited for tomorrow!â€
The team will depart their last camp before dawn tomorrow in order to arrive at the Sun Gate in the early morning light. They’ll spend the morning touring Machu Picchu, rejoin with the non-trekking members of the team and then catch a shuttle bus down to town for well-deserved showers and dinner. The team will have the following morning to head back up to Machu Picchu for additional exploration. The group is experiencing what they all came to Peru for, and my best guess is they are having an experience they’ll remember the rest of their lives!
