Early in the morning, we are about to start our 4-hour trip to Machu Picchu. Exciting !



We're all awake and happy...



Half an hour later... :O)



The closer we get, the more clouds we find...



Breathtaking view of the citadel !



We abandoned our ladies for a few hours to climb...



...the Wayna Picchu...



Not even started and already thinking about the way back ? :O)



This mountain in front of The Machu and Wayna Picchu will soon disappear from our sight



First break after 20 minutes and we are already suffering



The climb's not really hard but it's so steep !!



Victory ?! Yes, we can see the citadel from above...but we are not quite there yet !



A moment of inspiration !



How did they manage to build things in such a high location ?!



We are almost there !



Literally the last steps !



Another one of those "Pictures for Glory" :O)



The view is amazing...



Going down backwards !? :O)



Terraces used for agriculture



Bye Fax, it was nice meeting you... :O)



We made it ! And we are proud of it :O)



Joining our ladies to visit the rest of the citadel !



More terraces and quite a few more tourists than what appears on the pictures !



We wish we were alone in this magic place !



Happy we are to have found a less busy place...



...to take a few shots of ourselves ! FaxMan and Maud, you're the couple !



Think of this place covered by years of growing vegetation...lucky Hiram Bingham found it in 1911



The place we are now probably used to be a house !



And this roof used to be covered with straw...



Typical window with perfect geometry



The FaxMan Mathers likes to be photographed :O)



Waiting for me ?! :O)



The King of Birds...no matter how close we would get to him, he wouldn't move ! Thanks for being such a nice subject :O)



Faaaax, it's the FaaaxMan Mathers... Maud, Sie sehen sehr gut aus ! Vielen Dank und Gruessli !



There lies the start to the Wayna Picchu, short but intense hike



A Lama ! So cute ! Can we take it home !?!



Spirituality at its best !! :O)



Like that one : Pauv' type :O) with his only friend in life : WILSON the Soccer Ball...hahahaha :O)



Maud is almost taller than the Wayna Picchu !!!!!!!!!!!!



We are a postcard ! :O)



Back to Cuzco...we were tired and...



Very wasted...



definitely wasted...



absolutely wasted...



...totally wasted !!! :O)
