Best adventure
The first day we started the trail with a small hill and a nice view of the original Inca Trail . We ate an Andean dish for lunch called \”estofado\” and many side dishes. After lunch we walked for a little while and arrived at our camp. We set camp and ate our happy hour.…

Inca Trail fun times
The Inca Trail was amazing ! While it was challenging – both mentally and physically, it was an incredible experience. The people in my group were incredibly nice, which made the trek easy as we fed on each others positivism. Doing the Inca Trail made seeing / reaching Machu Pichu very rewarding – more than…

Me and my girls on the Inca Trail
My experience on the trail was great ! I completed the Inca Trail with my wife and my 12 year old daughter. We experienced the cold, heat, rain and the pain of being on the trail for four days. During this time our guide, Juan Carlos, kept us motivated by showing / teaching us about…

Thrilled and very much alive
We booked the two day tour knowing it would involve some hiking. Seven miles seemed doable for me, an overweight but active 51 year old. But these are mountain miles, and the path is made mainly of irregular stone steps. There were times when I could barely make it, but our guide, Americo, was extremely…

Stairs. And more stairs !
When my mom suggested we go on the Inca Trail / Machu Picchu I wasn\’t expecting this much of an adventure. As a \”typical American\” this is probably the most difficult challenge I\’ve ever faced with seven miles of rocky, muddy, slippery trails, and hundreds of stairs. Coming from Wisconsin, USA, the views were like…

Death by trail
This was quite the experience ! One thing I learned is that you have to be in shape, trekking up that mountain is exhausting and very challenging. Besides being tiring you do get to see some pretty unreal sites and views. It\’s crazy to think how they built this trail all those years ago. It\’s…
