Inca Trail - Trek to Machu Picchu

We did the "2 Day/1 Night with hotel" trek. Which really was a full day trekking, saw MP in the afternoon, stayed in hotel and went back to see again next morning. These photos are of the trek and our arrival to the Sun Gate overlooking Machu Picchu. The ruins in the first photos are not Machu Picchu, but other ruins along the way. Couple of MP photos at the end when we arrived! We had a guide with us who was very knowledgeable about Incan history and ruins, but also told us all about recent Peruvian history. There was no one else in the group except us. We went with Alpaca Expeditions, and at lunch they cooked us a meal. This was not an easy hike with all the DANG Incan Stairs! The Monkey Stairs were something else!Les mer
