The Inca Trail - Parte Dos
Day 3 was only 6 miles but felt loooong as it incorporated over 3,000 steps downward. When we began, the clouds were laying between the mountains and rapidly moving. Just before lunch, we climbed up to the beautiful Inca site of Phuyupatamarca which aptly translates to "Village in the Clouds".
Again, we had a lovely 3 course lunch, adorned with animal food-based replicas. We took a brief tarp nap before continuing down. At one point, the rain began and we became poncho people. Luckily, the rain let up just in time for us to arrive at the Ruins of Intipata. Each Inca site we visited was increasingly more spectacular.
On our way from Intipata to our campsite we were greeted by a few trail llamas. At camp, the chef surprised us with a birthday cake he made on the trail for Vale! We had our last well-made camp dinner before the goodbye ceremony where we thanked and tipped our porters or "bebeees".
Before we knew it, the day we'd all been hiking for had arrived. We had a brutal 3 AM wakeup call so we could get to the checkpoint before the seats filled up. We actually got the last seats left and waited there until the trail opened at 5:30 AM. Luckily, we had some nice stars to observe as we waited.
We arrived at Inti Punku, or the Sun Gate, by 6:30 and caught our first glimpse of Machu Picchu!! Then, the photoshoots began. As we descended, we continued to get new and more spectacular views of the ruins.
After all the impressive Inca sites we saw along the trail, I expected Machu Picchu to be anti-climactic. It most certainly was not. The main questions that came to mind were how and why? Our guide talked us through a lot of the history but the truth is, most of it is quite a mystery. That makes the site even more special in my eyes.
Bess, Josh, Junior, and I departed the group to begin our hike of Huayna Picchu Mountain which is on the list of the 20 most dangerous hikes in the world. With 1,000 ft of elevation gain in less than 1 mile, the hike was challenging but not impossible. It only took us about 45 minutes to reach the summit which had rewarding views of the Andes, Machu Picchu Mountain, and Machu Picchu itself.
On our way back, we walked through Machu Picchu again and were almost trampled by two crazy llamas! We thought, wouldn't it have been crazy to survive one of the worlds most dangerous hikes just to have been killed by llamas when we finished?
We ended the trip with a relaxing lunch in the scenic town of Aguas Calientes before venturing back to Cusco.

The Inca Trail - Parte Uno
Sam Travel picked 10 of us up from our hotel dark and early at 4:30 AM on Friday to begin our journey. We stopped in Ollantaytambo for a hearty breakfast before continuing on to Piskacucho or Kilometer 82 to begin our trek. There, our lovely porters gathered our belongings and we took off with only our small daypacks and our guides, Jhony and Junior.
Besides the early wakeup, it was a pretty easy first day with 7.5 miles of undulating terrain. Along the way we got to observe a few Inca sites. We were all faster than anticipated and arrived at our lunch spot early which earned us a short siesta while the chef and porters set us up a fantastic 3-course lunch with salad, soup, and a buffet-style main course.
When we arrived at our beautiful campsite, our tents had already been set up in a line with mountain views surrounding. We changed into our comfy clothes and played with the multiple puppies that were running around the site. For dinner, we had a four course meal and then we ended the night playing the card game shithead.
We awoke around 4:30 AM to a knock on our tent from 3 porters dressed in orange suits offering us coca tea to drink as we got ready. Day 2 was the day of the climb to Dead Woman's Pass which required almost 3k ft of elevation gain to reach a height of 13,779 ft and around 10 miles of hiking.
Instead of an elaborate trail lunch, the group opted for a 10:30 AM cheese and tea time so we were able to power through the trail and relax once we got to camp.
Bess and I lead the pack for a majority of the day as we powered up the seemingly never-ending steps. In the morning the trail was tree-lined, but as we got closer to the top, it became more exposed. The top of Dead Woman's Pass revealed expansive views of the Andes and sense of accomplishment for everyone - we had already completed the hardest part of the trail! It was (mostly) downhill from there.
To keep ourselves going, Bess, Amelia, and I took turns singing whatever songs came to mind from artists ranging from The Beatles, to Brittney Spears to Disney.
When we got to camp, we rested before tea time where we were welcomed with a flaming turkey decorated with marshmallow feathers. Again, we played shithead and it only got more intense. We had another elaborate dinner and then I ended the night by reading Amelia, my tent-mate, a portion of my book "Circling Around the Sun". When Amelia fell asleep, I stopped reading and then got complaints from Bess and Meredith in the neighboring tent who wanted to know what happened next, so, I continued.
