Lonely Planet review for Inca Drawbridge
On the other side of the ruins, a scenic but level walk from the Hut of the Caretaker of the Funerary Rock takes you right past the top of the terraces and out along a narrow, cliff-clinging trail to the Inca drawbridge. In under a half hour's walk, the trail gives you a good look at cloud-forest vegetation and an entirely different view of Machu Picchu.
You'll have to be content with photographing the bridge from behind a barrier a few hundred meters above it, as someone crossed the bridge a while back and tragically fell to their death.
