Machu Picchu pt 2: Pictures





They roofed some of the houses to give a better idea of what the city most likely looked like.


inside of a house.




Here are some snow capped mountains in the back.





Here is the inside of the official Incan entrance to Machu Picchu.


Deadly stairs.











Falling down temple.



Better half of the falling down temple.






Throne, or something like that.













Walking between the wings of the Condor.






The entrance from the outside.



You can see the zigzag path the bus takes to get up the mountain.



Inside the door again. You can see the holes in the side walls which have a small bar in each to tie the door shut. There is also a looped rock at the top of the door, I believe to also help close the door.




The condor. They would give liquid offerings (possibly blood or liquor?) by pouring inside the circle around the condor's head.







Itchy.




Throne or whatnot.






Stairway to Heaven.
