After days of hiking through the wild scenic beauty of the Salkantay trek, we finally walked into Aguas Calientes, (the little town at the base of Machu Picchu), where hot showers, fluffy hotel beds, and a fancy-pants dinner felt downright luxurious.
The next morning, the mountain greeted us in true cloud-forest fashion… rain, mist, ponchos, wet hair, and absolutely no thought whatsoever for anyone’s carefully planned photo opps.
And, of course, it was absolutely perfect.
The magic and mystery of watching this iconic ancient city appear and disappear through misty clouds, as though Machu Picchu was deciding on the spot how revealing she wanted to be that day…
Not exactly postcard weather. But… maybe even better.💚
