Money shot! The ruins photographed from a common viewing point. The taller peak in the background is Wayna Picchu (or Huayna Picchu), and it is possible to climb to the top for a different view of the ruins. You need a special permit to do this - check it out before you go.

No cars out here - things move via pack animal while on the Salkantay Trail. Here, it's propane. The horses are not roped together, so give them lots of room.
