The Inca Trail was very challenging and fun ! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the trail and history of the area and was really encouraging throughout the journey. Aside from a bit of rain we had great weather and clear views of the different valleys and mountains. We encountered a variety of wild life and birds and our guide explained the traditional uses of a few different plants and flowers. And after it all you get to walk around and explore Machu Picchu and learn a little history of how it was built and what different areas were used for. All in all it was a great journey and I would definitely do it again if I were given the chance.
