Greg, Jack & Hector were the intrepid warriors who summit – the peak of Huayna Pichu. It was wet & slippery & they succeeded!🎉

The Inca Trail was the road for the supply chain to Machu Picchu. It extended throughout the Incan Empire. The Inca Bridge adjacent to Machu Picchu is an amazing part of that trail . The trail is narrow. And it is a strategic decision to have a 400 foot drop at the bridge and the ability to remove the wooden logs when attackers threatened. It is an impressive site.

This place is amazing and the photos tell the story.

More photos along the train journey.

The train from Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu tracks aside the Urubamba River. After a few days of rain, the river was raging. In fact, a day after we left, train service was suspended for over 6 hours- the first time that happened since 2010.

Machu Picchu adventure begins with a train ride.

The natural beauty of the sacred valley is only surpassed by the amazing accomplishments of its inhabitants. They have been nurturing this land for thousands of years and are largely a self sustaining culture-amazing.
