I’m not that talented so it wouldn’t work for me. Lots of little nooks and fields around so you aren’t bothered by the throngs. On top of Wayna Picchu might be a good place to sketch since there are limited people allowed each day. And, you can see the whole valley from up top. Also, if you can be there before and/or after the tour groups arrive, you can have even more peace and quiet. And, of course, not going in peak season helps (not exactly sure when that is). To sit and relax, you shouldn’t be bothered. The hardest part is just getting ¨clean¨ shots without someone being in your photo.

We’re going back and forth on whether or not to go the Inca Trail Route or the couple-day quick visit route… Interesting your comment to take a book. I’d like to take my sketchbook and watercolors… How easy is it to find a spot that’s secluded from the throngs?
