The Inka Trail and Machu Picchu
29/5 Thu - 1/6 Sun
The Inka Trail to Machu Picchu, starting at Km 82, Piscacucho, at least for us together with our three private porters, one chef and one guide. We did not wanne exhaust ourselfs during this trip. What might have been an adventure a few years ago has now become an almost luxurious hike with porters and chefs doing everything to make you feel like a king and a queen. The hardest day was the second when we hiked from approximately 3000m to 4200m in just a few hours reaching dead womans pass (Abra Warmiwanuska), but our job was nothing in comparison to the porters job. As they carry everything we need during our four days including our things, tents, food, water, table, gas i.e.
First day - At point 82 km where we started to hike the Classic Inka trail
First day - Soon ready for a caravan with matching outfits....obviously in icebreaker shirts, do not kill us....
First day - Great mountain views from point 82
First day - Inka terraces
Second day - Tina is finally reaching dead womans pass at 4200m, a rise of 1200m in just a few hours. Poor porters!!!!
Second day - Chipping for air at 4200m were others just celibrate with a smoke
Lunch in the tent for the guide and the customers
The chef on the other side of the curtain. Also known as Papa Pitofu.
Third day - Runkuracay, a Inka fort
Third day - Kill Bill on the top of the second pass, 3850m
Third day - Intipata teraces, with a difference in temperature from the higher teracess to the lower that is noticable.
Third day - Orchide that looks like an angel. This place would be like heaven for one person I know, even our untrained eyes are able to spot them.
Fourth day - Finally at the sun gate, the gate to Machu Picchu, the sun is however shining with its absence (Swedish saying).
Fourth day - Machu Picchu - do we need to say more ?
Fourth day - The sun temple in Machu Picchu
Fourth day - The temple of the earth below the sun temple
Fourth day - The view of Machu Picchu from Huaynu Picchu
