![]() We went to drink something in the camp, said goodbye to the carriers and shared a bottle of Rum. In the tent again it was possible to take a hot shower, which was really good. It was foggy so we didn't see everything but we saw nice mountains and many flowers and Calibri's. To see the ruins at good weather was fantastic. I cannot understand why these steps are so high as I am taller than an Incan woman. At the beginning we planned to go up to 3900m and then go down to 2600m. At the third day we woke up at 5 in the morning because it was the longest day (16km). This day we got from 3000m up to 4200m, the Dead Woman's Pass. He was a man of 60 years!! They are astonishing people who walk this trail with 25 kg on their back. We put some tea in our cups and met the carriers at breakfast. We got woken up at the next day with hot tea in the bed at 6 am. Die first day was beautiful in terms of weather on the camping site, the tents were also built up already. Very tasty food, also for vegetarians, every day. Unbelievable! They built up a tent where we ate a 4 course meal with 14 people. Die landscape was beautiful and we stopped at a ruin and had lunch. Norma stayed in the back to catch the slower ones of us. We stopped regularly as I was not at 100% but I made it. Die first day had a walk of 14 km where we went from 2500m up to 3000m. We had our own bolstered sleeping bags and mats. They carried the tents, food and other important things. everything was great! For our group there were 2 leaders and 20 packers. Immediately we were impressed: On a parking lot they prepared a whole table for us with chairs and pools to clean our hands. Early we met for breakfast and then went to Ollantaytambo with the bus. Really cool, and very nice if you want to do a trip which is a bit harder than the 4 days Inca Trail!!Īt the 5th of November we went with a group of 14 persons to the Inca-Trail. ![]() Now you see just the main ruins on top of the hill and some at other points of the hill, but I think when they removed the vegetation from the ruins in a couple of years, it is so big as a village (way bigger than Machu Picchu) and enormously impressing!! Now I am glad that I saw it in this stage with people working on the cleaning of the ruins and now it is not so touristic yet, but I am sure that in a couple of years I will go back to admire all of the ruins! It was an amazing experience and the whole trip was really well organized!! It was really amazing!! The nature was so astonishing and the ruins were situated in a very beautiful place on the top of a hill, surrounded by mountains, clouds and rivers! At this moment they are still cleaning up the hill, because actually the whole mountain is covered by ruins. ![]() I just did a hike of 5 days to Choquekirao and back.
