"Machu Picchu Waterfall"

The best photo I could get of this waterfall by some ruins


The "Machu Picchu Waterfall" is the name I'm dubbing this rare waterfall by ruins. Technically, it's not in the archaeological site of Machu Picchu, but it's not often you see waterfalls and ruins together so this one particularly caught my eye. Unfortunately, it's hard to photograph from the Cusco-Sacred Valley-Machu Picchu train as there's lots of foliage in the way and the train doesn't slow down or stop for it. Still, it's impressive enough to warrant me to dedicate a page to it here. Look for it just before your reach a hydroelectric facility minutes before the pueblo of Machu Picchu (or Aguas Calientes).
