Sun sweat rain and sun again

Machu Pichu? Can't be done without a decent trek, sir. And then, the Inca Trail ain't worth nothing.

Or so our guide Eber told us. Good on us we chose his Salkantay Trek, and boy was he right. Throughout four days and nights we saw the vastness of the high Andes, the beauty of the rain forest, and the delights of the Santa Theresa Hot Springs; sights and sounds never to be forgotten.

We puffed, we sweat, we gnarled our teeth on another steep slope, but overall, even for this overweight & out of date non-fit tourist this was more than feasible.

If you want to see Machu Pichu, Salkantay certainly is the word !!!.
