The Inca Trail has so far been the high light of the trip. Not really knowing what to expect but having high expectations of the trail I was not let done. We had great weather and the altitude sickness that I had been warned about did not come. The first day was realitivly short in distance and flat in altitude lunch and every susquent meal did not cease to please vegetarian and carnivores alike. (We actually had a stove with propane that one of the 19 porters carried) I must admit I felt for the the portetrs and the demands of thier loads. men of ages 21 to 57 carried our tents food and other supplies for the 34 km journey, although we left right after each meal the porters were soon breezing past us in order to set up for the next stop.
The one set of ruins that we encountered our first day was found less then 40 years ago and ruins are bieng undercovered regularly on as recent as a year ago.
