Today’s Photo of the Day is not one of the most beautiful we’ve ever selected, nor is it the most technically perfect. Today’s photo was chosen because it shows a very different perspective of a very commonly photographed site: Machu Picchu.
We’ve all seen the quintessential Machu Picchu photograph that zooms in on the ruins but leaves viewers wondering what surrounds the area. Well, thanks to pedromgb and his 45-minute hike to the top of neighboring Wayu Picchu we can now check out all of Machu Picchu–including those hairy switchbacks to get up there.
