Inca Trail to the Lost City


"Machu Picchu" sounds like a Pokemon character but it means "old peak" in Quechua. It's also known as the Lost City of the Incas and, from far away, could pass as an ancient miniature golf course. Like all stunning landscapes, it looks like a fake backdrop until you get there and know that it's actually real. After trekking 44 kilometres, up to a height of 4215 metres above sea level over 4 days, coming face-to-face with Machu Picchu was like finally meeting someone we had heard so much about before. Completing the Inca Trail and being rewarded with seeing this new Wonder of The World, is one more item now crossed off our list of things to do before we die. We were very lucky to share this experience with our great friends, Mel and Dan.
