Chat on WhatsAppMy first trip to South America and first time Peru. I always had the dream to visit Machu Picchu to see the sacred Inca city. We had booked our Inca Trail to Machu Picchu organized by Inca Trail Reservations . I didn't really know what to expect, I was just excited. We had got all important and necessary information from the agency (Inca Trail Reservations) so I was happy to get started. Arrived in Cusco our guide Americo gave us a short introduction and that was the first time were I got a bit nervous... I am good in shape but I was a bit afraid due to the described treks, every day 7 hours in average... So no return, let's get started :-)
Early next day we started our adventure with a very nice trekking group of 8 people. The first day was easy, walking through a wonderful nature and had a perfect lunch, served by our cook and our porters. I have to admit that sleeping in a tent with a very thin mat will not become of my favorites, but I guess this belongs to a real adventure :-) Our second day was really intensive and also challenging, we started at 5 am and had a very long way up to the mountain... After that we were happy to take a little bird bath in a stream next to our path. A wonderful refreshment amongst a great nature.
The last day we had to get up very early, at 3:30 am, and started the last sequence of our adventure: up to Machu Picchu, how exciting ! It was a very easy last trip up to sacred city, in comparison to the last days ;-) Finally we arrived and it was awesome, the sky cleared and we saw the great and unique Inca city built in the mountain - just impressive ! These pictures I will never forget. I thank our guide Americo and his team for the great company and support to make this adventure just perfect and unforgettable !
