The Incas knew perfectly well that for the country's development requires a good infrastructure. Conquered more territories in South America, but that they need to effectively manage them together skomunikawac. To this end, covered the mountains, coast and jungle trails network with a total length of about 40 000 km. These were the so-called Inca trails. Part one is today viewed, for hikers and the best known is the Inca Trail near Cusco, which extends from the so-called. km 82 to Machupicchu.
Of course we went on this journey. This time, the agency Quechua Expedition, from which we are happy. An additional advantage is that the owner is Peruvian. Daily limit piechorow the Inca Trail is 500 persons, including porters, so it must rezerwowac with a considerable advance. The subject of a separate post is absurd organization Trek. Already wrote about it here Lukas. I do not mean our agencies, who in August wrote down, but about general principles. Field limit porterzy occupy. Every day in the same areas are broken up tents, etc.. If the trail was a permanent infrastructure of any accommodation and dining, the number of porters could be reduced, and let the trail of tourists who pay a lot more money. Net profit for Peru.
I would add that for me was also very uncomfortable that the porterzy for me to bear the lot of unnecessary things. Can I fly on the Trek in the mountains sit on a chair at the dining table under the tent? Two porters are on the route just so I ate in such a way. Crop traditional expedition to the burner and cous-cous, which I carry for myself alone.
But returning to the Trek. We chose option 4 days, 3 nights. Matt and I had quite a lot of backpacks filled with sleeping bags, mats and things, not only his, but our wybranek. Turns out it shot in dzesiatke, because we learned from climbing the volcano has allowed us to free acclimatization hike load. The girls were not so well acclimated and in addition a little sick, so I was doing for them, sometimes hard. Especially on the way to the highest point, the pass at an altitude of 4 200 m above sea level is the route is beautiful. We could not just admire the beautiful Andes, but also the remains of Inca civilization. Preparing for the journey of Machupicchu.
About Machupicchu in separate photos of the post and the Inca Trail umieszone are also in a separate post.
team just before the pass to 4 200 m above sea level, it was cold.
