The view of the ruins you see when you enter from the Sun Gate. The traditional "Inca Trail" brings visitors in this way.In ancient times, this was a (maybe the) main entrance.

A side trail when in the Machu Picchu park goes out to the "Inca Bridge". You can't get all the way down to the bridge, but it's a fun walk atop steep walls down to the viewing point.

Machu Pichu, Peru
The Inca Bridge, at the lower left of the photo. It's actually planks over a collapsed section of the a pathway along a sheer wall. You can't get all the way down to it (too dangerous), but it illustrates the ingenuity of the people who built these trails.
Llamas enjoying the view. The llamas were brought in to help keep the grass cut low, but in a case of unintended consequences their poop actually makes the grass grow faster.
