Don´t forget to look down too

The hike up Machu Picchu is filled with gorgeous scenery that will distract you from pesky rocks and other uneven ancient paved roads that are out to trip you.

So remember not just to watch the amazing rolling hills and mountains and the sheer drop down the valley but also the tiny little rocks in front of your feet. I would recommend doing the full hike rather than bussing up to Machu Picchu or you'll miss the ancient structures on the way up and the rock walls that guide your way up this beautiful mountain.

Last tip, wear long pants and long sleeves, a lot of my friends didn't and were absolutely eaten alive even with bug spray and deet. With long sleeves you avoid the ordeal altogether and can watch your buddies suffer.
