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

Approach to Sayajmarka Ruins, on the Inca Trail.

It's really spectacular scenery!

Inca Trail / Peru / 2007

one of the last inca ruin's we saw on the last day before the descent into Machu Pichu..very tired and very sore..i was ready to throw the camera over the edge.. the weight of it and all it's bits nearly killed my back!

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.

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.

(An annoying, loud American family at that.)

Do you see the face?

My favorite thing about the Inca Trail is all the running water. Being there in the rainy season means you and all your stuff being wet the whole time, but it also means rivers, streams, running water everywhere. Beautiful.
