My Inca Trail experience was a humbling, physical and mentally challenging adventure. The altitude kicked my butt the first day and using the the banos was an adventure in its self. I was out of my comfort zone and that is where the adventure began. My mantra for this trip was the \” journey was the destination.\” What a journey it turned out to be, growing and becoming one with PachaMama. One highlight of this journey is when I asked our guide what was the the name of a orange flower I was looking at and she said it was an Orchid , but it was not open. Then it slowly open for me , as if on cue, too show me its beauty. We were all amazed and I thanked Pachamama and we continue on the Inca Trail. :)
