Machu Picchu, Mexico at daytime

We were warned that the Inca site might be covered in clouds due to rains and the views might be not perfect. To be honest, when I finally had my first view of the site after a strenuous five day trek through the Andes I felt lucky to be able to see the curtain of clouds descend and lift off every ten minutes, intermittently hiding some parts and exposing others. The gorgeous play of light did justice to the mystique of the ancient ruins thats adorned this magical landscape - after all, there is so little we know about the site and why it was constructed in the first place.
