THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE (MACHU PICCHU, PERU)

4/28/2013

10 Comments

 
And if these mountains had eyes, they would wake to find two strangers in their fences, 
standing in admiration as a breathing red sun pours its tinge upon earth's shore. 
These mountains, which have seen untold sunrises, 
long to thunder praise but stand reverent, 
silent so that man's weak praise should be give God's attention.

For us, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit Machu Picchu - we have to see it twice and thank God, the creator of all things beautiful - we have seen the most spectacular sunrise. We got at 4 in the morning to catch the earliest bus to go to the top. This was our favorite day in Machu Picchu, we saw something worthy of the word epic. 

We are fortunate enough to go on this trip with great weather and during off-peak season. The sun slowly rising from the East over one of the world's greatest wonder is an image that probably we would remember for the rest of my life. Sometimes, we need to be reminded that a sunrise last but a few minutes. This moment and beauty will burn in our hearts eternally.

Next time, do the inca trail. The view of sunrise from the Inti Punku is even better!

You were so fortunate to be there with full sun. I was there for several days about six years ago and saw it in every shade but sunny. Traveling with a shaman was a blessing and taking the trail to the river temple a worthy if difficult trip. I hope you had a chance to connect with some of that in Machu Picchu.
