Inca Trek

So we have just come back from a fantastic 4 day Inca Trek to Machu Picchu.

On day 1 we hiked from the sacred valley to up to our campsite at 3,300m. Day 2 was a big day climbing over two high passes at 4,200m and then again to 4,000m. It then was easier on the descent through cloud forest.

It was lovely to go through several different habitats from High Andes to Cloud Forest and Tropical Rainforest. We saw many birds including distant condors.

Another them was each day coming across impressive Inca Ruins on this highway of the Incas.

It was nice being with the same group for 4 days and getting to know other hikers from several countries.

Next post will share Machu Picchu itself.Weiterlesen
