An Ancient civilization

The Inca Trail was tougher than I expected but it was a very fulfilling way to visit Machu Picchu.

The focus of the trip was definitely way more than just the Machu Picchu inca site itself but rather the history and culture behind the Inca(s) as an ancient civilization itself. This can only be achieved, I believe, through the actual walking of the 4D3N Inca Trail where we got to experience and imagine what it was like when the Incas walked the ground many centuries ago.

Upon reaching Machu Picchu itself, I was overwhelmed by the many tourists streaming into the ancient site and was glad that unlike many of them, I had the chance to understand the Incas much more than just Machu Picchu.
