Kim in Peru - The Inca Trail

What is a trip to Peru without exploring the wonders of the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu? I hope you enjoy this collection of some of the photos I took along the trail and visit my other lenses where I detail other portions of my travels. This was my first trip to Peru, but not my last. In fact, I am called to Peru and will be moving there in June 2009.

The Treacherous Trail! 

"Inca Flat"

Our guides sometimes made it sound like something would be sort of easy...or maybe not as tough as I might have expected. WRONG!!! On the Trail there is NO SUCH THING AS "FLAT"!!! "Flat" in that context includes steep inclines and dramatic stone steps that ...DOWNHILL...can absolutely destroy those walking sticks! I found that I could do it more safely by going BACKWARDS! (Not everywhere - just the last part of day 2 and most of day 3! Even the pictures I have don't really do justice to just exactly how steep "downhill" actually was. I'll never assume that "downhill" is a smooth, easy ride ever again! Downhill was every bit as difficult and treacherous as uphill!

Starting the Inca Trail...the first of the terraces.
