cloudy machu picchu sunrise after 4 days hiking
After four days of hiking the Inca Trail, I finally made it to Machu Picchu. You’d think after all that effort, the sunrise would be spectacular, right? But when I got there, the whole place was covered in thick clouds. I could barely see the famous ruins, let alone the sun coming up. I was exhausted, my knees were sore, and my rain jacket was still damp from the night before. I kept telling myself, 'This is the experience of a lifetime,' but honestly, I felt a little let down. Has anyone else made it all the way to a world-famous spot, only to have the weather ruin the big moment? I know I’m lucky to be here, but I can’t help but wonder if the postcards lied to me. Maybe the cloudy mornings are part of the real Machu Picchu experience?
