The Sacred Rock
![]()
As Nile and Abby start the descent to reach the sacred rock they can see their destination.
It is situated between the two thatched roof huts at the foot of Huayna Picchu. It is north of the plaza.
As they go down, step by step, the steep stairways make switchbacks and turns which for them are sometimes frightening. They make it to the bottom without a catastrophe.
