On the way back to Aguas Calientes (the town below MP, where you can actually get a hotel room), we took the walking path down. Our travel book mentions that such a path exists, and that it takes about 1 hour, but I don't think any of the writers ever bothered to walk that path themselves, because they forgot to mention how boring it was. The path just keeps on going and going down and down, and then some more, with nothing interesting in sight. On top of that, this isn't just any staircase, it's an Incan staircase, with uneven steps and unpolished cobblestones. A total pain in the ... knees.
Oh well, it was fun to descend into town in total darkness, luckily among the 3 of us, we had enough patience, and skills to find our way back in the dark.

good times...
Great video! Love the commentary (and the fact that you're finally IN the shot instead of behind the camera!!) So who ended up taking the first bite: the snakes, the jaguars, or the ancestral Incas?
