We drove to Ollantaytambo this morning where we boarded the train to Machu Picchu. Machu Pichu was "discovered" by Hiram Bingham, a Yale professor in 1911. Kind of like Columbus discovered America. Locals knew of its existence and a professor in Cusco knew about it as well. Not that much is know about it since the Incas did not have a written language. Our hotel is is much nicer than the one in Pisac. We liked the Pisac Inn location, but there was no heat, or warm water in the wash basin. The Machu Picchu room has a huge jacuzzi tube, however, it faces the railroad. Tomorrow is Cusco, then home.
This is the end of the Inca trail. We look pretty good after hiking for four days.
This rock replicates the mountains.
