What A Hike

It is a little hard to see, (you may want to click to enlarge the photo), but there are about five people taking the Inca trail. Edwin told us that from Ollyantaytambo it is a four day, three night hike to Machupicchu. It is mandatory that you hire a person to carry your packs, a person to cook your food, and a person to be your guide. It is scary to think about the attack of puma's or bear's but it does sound like something I would love to do one day. These people are just starting their treck. When in machupicchu it is easy to tell who just came from the trail: they were dirty and smelly! I can't wait until the day that I am one of them!

Don't forget me when you go!! I would love to follow the Inca trail. Did you know that the reason you have to sign the waiver to climb Wayna Picchu is not because of the climb to the ruins, but because there is a 6.5 hour trail beyond the ruins we could see from Machu Picchu. I would like to do that one as well!!
