My photostream hasn't been to the Inca city of Machu Picchu for a while, so here is another from my 2004 trip there. This is one of the stone huts built on the side of the mountain, by the pathway that leads from where the shuttle bus drops you off to the main part of Machu Picchu. The thatch roof is clearly a modern addition, but I'm not sure to what extent this structure was restored or rebuilt, or even a modern replica built in the Inca style. In any case, it is a beautiful spot.
