At this point, the scenery would start to change from the lush rain forest to an environment with rocks and sparse vegetation. The temperature will also be much cooler. It is also an opportunity for us to capture spectacular sunrise and sunset, if the weather is clear. On day three of our trip on the trail, we should start to spot some ancient ruins, along the seemingly endless patches of orchids and other flowers. As we are getting closer to Machu Picchu, there will be more tourists and things could start to get steadily more crowded. If possible, we should try to get pictures of Machu Picchu early in the morning when there are very few people there. Hiking up Huayna Picchu should be one of the highlights of the trip. It is essentially a wonderful rugged and steep trail that will guide us up to the peak. The view will be quite fabulous. After visiting the ruin and enjoying the area we will be directed to catch the minibus into Aquas Calientes. The trail is essentially a loop and we could continue on around the mountain if we have the time and the weather is clear.
