We managed to be among the last twenty or thirty people allowed to climb
Waynu Picchu, that peak on the left. The Incas had built a
precarious staircase and a small fortress on top. It took us about
an hour and a half to pick our way up the stairs; the Inca runners did it
in ten minutes. The clouds had rolled back in, so we were mercifully
unable to see much of the valley floor hundreds of feet below.
