Trekking the Inca Trail was definitely a challenge, but hiking for 4 days through the ups and downs of the legendary path and arriving to see the sunrise over Macchu Pichu was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my Peru trip.
The guides (Miguel and Elio), the chef and chaisquis (porters - incredibly nice and friendly local people) made It a terrÃfic experience that i suggest to anyone who is willing to test his limits while learning about the inca culture and seeing some of the most exquisite Peruvian landscapes.
One last suggestion for anyone out there willing to visit Macchu Pichu: do It vÃa the Inca Trail! You will get out of It much more than simply visiting the site and you will remember this experience for the rest of your lives !!.
