Inca Trail!




After a few hours by bus, we reached km82, which is the start of the Inca Trail.
From there, we walked for 3 days! It was raining pretty much the whole time but it was great! It was harder than what I was expecting, but definitely worth it!
We were 14 and had 18 porters (running with huge bags!), 2 cooks (who managed to make pizza and a cake with icing at the top of a mountain!!!) and 2 guides.
We saw some Inca remains on the way; all of them really nice!

Because of the weather, a part of the trail was closed so we had to go to the city of Aguas Calientes, and spent the 3rd night of the trail there. We also stopped at the hot springs$

On the last day, we took a bus to Machu Picchu. It was amazing! With Anne, my Norwegian friend, we climbed to the top of Wyannapicchu, the famous mountain in the background of all the Machu Picchu postcards! It was really steep but oh so definitely worth it! The view from there is great!

Overall -> amazing experience!!
