Bird´s eye view...

Actually, it´s more of a crazy-Inca´s eye view. This is a shot from the top of Huayna Picchu, beside Machu Picchu. It´s pretty strenuous getting up here, and they not only climbed it, but built a couple of houses, lookout towers, and terraced the sides to grow food as well. Your average Inca must have been lungs with legs. The zigzag on the left is the road to the ruins, where the buses bring loads of lazy bastards up to the site. There is a flight of stone stairs that goes straight up, cutting across the switch-backs, for those who want to earn their views. Needless to say, we walked up, and back down.
