Wayna Picchu is the mountain peak in the background of many photos of Machu Picchu. At 7:00 every morning they open up the trail to willing climbers. We of course were 5th and 6th in line. By 7:15 we were in the lead and by 7:50 we had reached the summit first! This strenuous climb allows for sweeping and breathtaking views of MP. We were there early enough to see the fog break and slowly reveal MP. While up top we “discovered” a small cave-trail that lead to higher ruins. Here we relaxed a bit and ate our lunch (at 8:45 AM). We also met a nice Australian couple that we later had dinner with. Here are a few images from our climb and from the top of WP.
