On the Inca Trail somewhere before our first campsite at Kilometer 84. The traditional start point for the Inca Trail is Kilometer 88. We added an extra day to the hike to experience this semi-desert region.

Dead Woman's pass, somewhere around 13000 feet above sea level. This is the highest point of the trail and a hell of climb. Day 2.

In the distance is Huayna Picchu. It is also known as Wayna Picchu.

Occasionally showered and rinsed off in nearby rapids. Of course, this runoff was freezing cold and refreshing, but probably had llama piss trickle down from higher up in the mountain.

At the start of the Inca Trail. These porters are just beginning their journey on the trail.

Looking behind me during day 3 and its 3,000 steps down. My knees hurt just thinking about it ;)

www.sapadventures.net/ The Inca Trail is a magnificent, well preserved Inca Trail route which connects Machu Picchu with what once were other regions of the Inca Empire, and today it is one of the world’s most popular treks. This four-day walk goes from the highlands of 4,200mts and down through the cloud forests to finally arrive at Machu Picchu - 2,380mts
