Machu Picchu (Michel Henostroza)
Yesterday our trekking team entered Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate, via the final section of the Inca Trail from Wiñaywayna. The Sun Gate is the traditional access point to the Machu Picchu Citadel, from which trekkers descend down to various buildings and living areas. IMG Guide Michel Henostroza remarked that the weather was perfect and the views “absolutely beautiful”, and added that they were the only visitors at the Sun Gate making it a particularly special event.
