At first, I didn't see the point in seeing Machu Picchu twice. But as we ascend into the low clouds, I see why they plan a second day, just in case. Our sunny day yesterday was an anomaly. Today was so foggy we could hardly see anything, and Circuit 2 provides even a higher vantage point to see the grounds.
Thankfully after an hour, the fog lifted and we were able to enjoy a different view of this magnificent World Wonder.
We completed our circuit, and we took the bus back into Machu Picchu Pueblo. We had lunch in a hole-in-the-wall spot and it was one of my favorite meals we had so far!
We had quite a bit of time to kill before our train ride back to Ollantaytambo, so we walked over a mile to this Butterfly Garden and paid $5 each to listen to a presentation entirely in Spanish. With context clues, I was pleased with how much Max and I understood the tour.
When then found a rooftop bar to have a Pisco Sour and relax for a while before our train arrived.
It was a long journey back by train and then by car, but we finally made it to bed. We were going to get up SUPER early, AGAIN! So we fell into bed after a subpar hotel dinner and fell promptly asleep.
