Inca Trail

Hung, Matt and I at the beginning of the Inca Trail!  The path that was once traveled by Inca messengers from Cosco is now being traveled by 450 pound of fury!

This is our hiking crew with the hiking guide (Freddy) wearing a ski mask.  There were rumors that he had chewed a bit too much coca :-)

The Inca Trail had all kinds of wild life, including an epic tarantula VS wasp battle!

What would a stroll in the Andes be without a sighting of a wild llama, or is it an alpaca?











We may have been doing the Inca Trail but our expedition looked more like an REI advertisement!








The sights along the way were pretty spectacular!  Continuing the REI advertisement...










We made it! More like our porters made it, we did it the easy way :-)

There it is... Machu Picchu, the hidden city in the Andes... behind the fog!  We decided to stay an extra day to have a better look.

This is what happens as you ponder what wishes to make when you will wear a fita from Bonfim for more than a year! While hanging out above Machu Picchu (on Huayna Picchu)!




Hung was a lot more pragmatic :-)
















It was worth it to stay an extra day after the fog cleared to get this view. It was a moment to remember forever!
