Hiking the Inca Trail was an amazing experience. It pushed me to my limits but made me realize what I am capable of doing. Victor, our guide, was fantastic, supportive, funny, and passionate about Incan history. The cook and porters made the experience less rugged; the food was impressive and the porters were motivational as they ran past us with huge loads on their backs. Arriving at the Sun Gate and then Machu Picchu is a memory that will stick with me forever. This was like no other vacation I have ever taken because it certainly was not about luxury and relaxing, but it will stand out as one of the most incredible things I have ever done!
