Inca Trail Trek - Day 4

In the pitch black we packed up our things, had a quick breakfast, put our head lights on and started our final trek to Machupicchu. It didn´t take us long to reach the Sun Gate for Sunrise. Absolutely spectacular! We sat and watched the sun come up behind us and over Machupicchu mountain...

Inca Trail

It is time for me to change the order of my life´s to do list, since the number one slot has finally been obtained "Machu Picchu". The hike was more than I could have hoped for, it was very challenging, rained everyday, but the views and the experience was unbelievable. The entire trip on paper...

Machu Picchu: Sagenhafte Stadt

Heute ist der große Tag: wir wollen Machu Picchu sehen. Und zwar am besten bei Sonnenaufgang und bevor die Massen ankommen - also stehen wir mal wieder um 5:00 auf, sind um 5:30 bei den ersten Bussen den Berg hinauf dabei, und sind um 6:00 in den Ruinen. Zwar ist es diesig-neblig, aber so haben...

Annäherung an Machu Picchu: Aguas Calientes

Wieder heißt es früh Aufstehen: um 6h15 fährt der Backpacker-Zug von PeruRail aus Cusco ab. Die Fahrt der Schmalspurbahn beginnt mit einem als "zig-zag" berühmt gewordenen Streckenabschnitt, auf dem der Zug unter vielmaligen Richtungswechseln aus dem Tal Cuscos emporsteigt. Mitten durch arme...

Day 6

Another day of trekking ... and one on which I thought I'd never get through. It wasn't the uphill portions that did me in, but rather the 1,000 Inca steps down from the last pass to the hostel near the ruins of Winay Wayna. Really, I've never felt my legs shake like that before.

Day 4

First we take the train, passing through Ollantaitambo to Kilometer 88 near the Llactapata ruins, and hike to the Three White Stones campsite, which may or may not be near Wayllabamba. My companion gets altitude sickness but fortunately at the campsite is a fancy-shmancy tour group and they...
