The four trek, following a 49-kilometer long, century-old Inka path to reach the famed Machu Picchu, will forever be one of the most moving, intense and gorgeous experiences of all my travels in this continent. Valleys, peaks, stars, lagoons, temples, llamas, tents, stairs, jungle, sun, and, yes, Machu Picchu are etched in my mind-- and muscles. It wasn't nearly as challenging as I had dramatically conjured in my mind. Although difficult, the sheer beauty that constantly surrounded me unfailingly pushed me forward. The trek was one of the most spiritual and rewarding endeavours I have ever completed. Below is a day-by-day account, if you're bored.
