Llamas in the mist

I had an excellent few days crossing the inca trail under the care of Vincent. The terrain and distance was just about the right level of difficulty and emphasis was placed on taking it at your own pace, which meant it was possible to choose sections to walk with others or to head off on your own.

The equipment and meals provided (and carried by the porters!) were of excellent quality and were essential to keeping energy up while walking. Vincent was a wonderful escort: knowledgable, friendly, and encouraging where necessary.

I would strongly recommend the trek, and choosing to do it with Inca Trail Reservations .
