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.

Another beautiful view of the ruins.
Another view of the ruins from a slightly different angle.
Llamas enjoying the view. The llamas were brought in to help keep the grass cut low, but in a case of unintended consequences their poop actually makes the grass grow faster.
Conservation efforts within the park. The popularity of the park has put a lot of pressure on the park ecosystem.
Llamas share the trail on the way up to the Sun Gate. They are bigger than they look - watch your step so they don't bump you off the trail. Note the paving stones - the surface can be uneven at times.
