Our second day at Machu Picchu we hiked the great mountain of Huayna Picchu, climbing up to around 8000 feet above sea level to reach the summit that overlooks the lost city of the Incas. It was scary at times as I could have easily fallen off the edge to my death at any given moment-- so it took me longer than the estimated 1 hour to ascend. The views from the top and along the way, however, were breathtaking and I could understand how so many people (400 maximum allowed every day) venture up and down the mountain despite fear of bodily injury and death!
