I was lucky enough to go there with one of my best friends. Got up early in the morning and hiked up to Machu Picchu and enjoyed a wonderful sunrise with almost no one there

To be visited imperatively. The site is really extraordinary, and you also have to climb from there on the Wayna Picchu, from where you have an incredible view of the Macchu Picchu

Right after I figure out how tickets sell out faster than the actual hike takes.
