Amazing Vistas, high mountains, good food, great people and Shit toilets. That’s the short version. For my humble attempt to capture the awe and intrigue that was the Inca Trail, watch this video:
What will not be captured is the hard slog up Dead woman’s pass, day 2 included more than 1km vertical climb to reach the summit and even in the foggy view it gave a real sense of achievement (as well as sore legs and little breath). Also uncaptured is the awesome group we had, Thanks Everybody!How many inca ruins have I seen? I don’t know, lots. The overriding message is that we really don’t know what these people did, other than farm store food and occasionally sacrifice virgins. The largest and most impressive is of course MatchuPitcu. Large buildings, temples and farms cover this hillside city, abandoned before the Spaniards had a chance to destroy it.
