I had loved to walk the two day trekking to Machu Picchu, but as I wrote earlier the Soroche was there and the two day trekking would probably end in a seven day trekking, hahaha. So we decided to take the easier way to visit Machu Picchu ;-) Katarina would pick me up at my hotel at a quarter to se…

This day began at 4:30 . I was asked to be at the bus station at 5 am. I think I was there at 5:05. What a surprise how many people were already there. OMG.  I think I will be in bus number 756 L. So my backup plan is starting. Just leave and walk a block around and arrive again at the front o…

Machu Picchu, Cuzco, Aguas Calientes, Chinchero, Ollantaytambo and Urubamba.

A weeklong adventure in Cuzco visiting surrounding architectural and historical sites including Machu Picchu and several incan and pre-incan locations in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

It was really amazing to see Machu Picchu in person after seeing it so many times in Travel Magazines. You just can't beleive it until you see it with your very own eyes. The weather was perfect, not too warm and not too chilly....it was great just making our way through this amazin…

INCA TRAIL   Day 1   The night befoe the Inca trail we had a briefing at the agency (Andean Life) to meet our tour guide jimmy and the other people in our team. We were in a group of 11 with two English guys (Chris and Matt), two irish (Pauline and cormac) two swiss (Francois and Patr…

Early after a good breakfast we took the first bus up at approx 06.15 and arrived at the ruins at 06.45. At this time Machu Picchu wasn’t very crowded so we had the opportunity to take advantage of the tranquility of this sacred site. Our tour guide gave us a 30 minute explanation of the hist…

The Classic Inka Trail (4D/3N)

South America was the first leg of my 5 month trek around the world in 2007. I travelled to Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia during May-June 2007, followed by Central America, Egypt, Morocco and Asia. South American Highlights included: * Tubing down the Amazon River * Horseriding in the mountains surrounding Banos, Ecuador * Taking a light-plane ride to see the Nazca lines * Going sand-boarding in Peru * Hiking the Inca Trail and watching the sunrise over Macchu Pichu ... truly spectacular!

Yeees, finally the day has come I have made to Machu Picchu! This is truly a WONDER of the world it does not matter if you read every book, seen every website and every comment to known to man on Machu Picchu it an honor to be standing in person over there and I have so much PRI…

The final day started early at 4am, i was tired, wet from the tent, and uncomfortable, and wasnt in the mood for being woken up at bloody 4am.  We got dressed, done our bags, i dumped my sleeping bag, thinking it better to let someone else have it than me, it weighed to much and got in the way…

we leave canada direction peru to find the real civilisation of the inca time

Left the U.S. on September 20, and arrived in Cusco, Peru the next morning. I then spent the day acclimating in Cusco, drinking plenty of coco leave tea and eating very good food, not to mention the pisco sours. Took the train to Machu Picchu the morning of Sept. 22 and arrived early in the afternoon.

Still buzzing from the previous evening´s ruckus, everyone doing the Inca trail or the Lares trek got on the early bus to Saqsayhuman.  This is a popular name with English speaking tourists because it sounds like sexy woman.  I wish I would have taken more pictures here because the Inca …
