Hello Ricardo,
We see the traces of this fascinating ancient culture from a less known angle and the spectacular scenery makes the view of the town even more overwhelming than usual. The zigzag trail going up the steep mountainside makes a fantastic pattern. The photo is superbly exposed and well saturated.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonjour, cher Ricardo,
Arriver à reproduire l'aspect grandiose de ce site est magnifique.
J'admire le courage des agriculteurs qui travaillent à de pareilles hauteurs et de ces parcelles aménagées en gradins.
Un grand merci pour cette réalisation de toute beauté.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Ricardo, looking at the mountains and this ancient site, it makes us realise how clever and competent the people were in creating Manchu Picchu.
Excellent sharp quality.
Love the zig-zag path winding its way up the mountain side.
Regards Jean.

Hello Ricardo,
have you climbed Huayna Picchu? Wow. I wouldn't dare it, I have vertigo and this path is dangerous. You are very brave :). The picture is so stunning sharp. I can recognize the zigzag road from Aguas Calientes, higher is probably Inca Trail. The terraces are so well visible. The mountains look very impressive. Magnificent view. Thanks for sharing, I have never seen Machu Picchu from this POV and I wondered how it would look like.
Kind regards Malgo

A stunning sight from the most famous location in Peru, Ricardo, was taken from even yet a higher perspective.
Bom novo dia,

Hello Ricardo,
A fantastic view of the Andes and an original way to present us Machu Picchu.
I guess the zigzag lines on the steep slope are the road to Aguas Calientes. Also the terraces on the right look amazing!
Your effort to climb the mountain Huayna Picchu after your hike to Machu Picchu was amply rewarded.
I visited MP in 2001 but was too tired after the hike to climb Huayna Picchu ... :(
Best regards, Paul

Hola Ricardo.
Impresionante paisaje con estas altas cumbres, que se elevan muy por encima de Machu Picchu aun bastante, la situacion de la ciudad se ve perfectamente y la impresionante ruta que sube haciendo zig zag por la empinada ladera.
Una imagen para disfrutar, con su hermoso colorido, gran luminosidad y perfecta nitidez.
Magníficamente captada. Me encanta.
Feliz inicio de semana.
Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.
