The Inka Trail - Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu

These four days, around Christmas 2004, were probably the most challenging and most amazing of my life. I pushed myself physically harder than I ever have (I know the hike isn't that bad, but I'm a wimp!), but it was all worth it! We, our group of about 10 tourists, hiked for 4 days and ended up in this beautiful city of Incan ruins. We saw ruins all along the way as well. We slept in tents and ate amazing food that was prepared for us by Peruvians. Peruvian porters also carried our stuff for us, for an extra fee. That was worth it, too! We had an amazing guide who shared with us a wealth of information on the flora and fauna of the "high mountain jungle," as well as the history of the Incan people. Incredible!

Estos cuatro días, en el tiempo de la Navidad 2004, probablamente fueron los días mas desafiantes y maravillosos de mi vida. Me empujé a mi fisicamente mucho (yo sé que este sendero no es tan mal, pero yo soy débil!), pero todo vale la pena! Nosotros, un grupo de 10 turistas, fuimos por 4 días con el fin en esta ciudad hermosa de ruinas Incas. Vimos ruinas en el camino tambien. Durmimos en carpas y comimos comida rica hecho de Peruanos. Porteros peruanos tambien llevaron nuestra equipaje, para una tarifa extra. Eso vale la pena tambien! Tuvimos un guía maravilloso quien nos compartío mucha información de la flora y fauna de "la selva montañosa de los altos," y de la historia de las Incas, tambien. Increíble!
