Inca trail to Machu Picchu 4 days
INCA TRAIL MACHU PICCHU
It took 4 days to do this trek, both complicated
and wonderful. You have to go through tropical zone, follow the mountain, and
reach a pass at 4200 m. But the culmination point is when you arrive in Machu
Picchu in the morning with an impressive view on the Mountain form the Sun Gate
(la Puerta del Sol). You have to “deserve your Machu Picchu”.
To do this trek, you have to go with a travel
agency, because you can’t do it alone anymore. Furthermore, the access is
limited to 500 persons a day, so you have to reserve it with anticipation.
