Peru - Inca Trail - Part1

The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is a 4 day, 44 km (27 miles) hiking trek that reaches as high as 4,200 meters or 13,800 feet above sea level.

Along the trail, there is beautiful scenery of the mountains.  Each step of the way takes you closer to a lost city that culturally defines the people.  The Incas lived in the high altitudes mountain regions.

Getting fatigued on a strenuous hike, yet the view is breathtaking.   Each passing hour draws you closer to the end, which is a place you only dreamed of seeing.  Nothing else motivated me to finish despite getting infected with a stomach bacteria a day before the start of the trek.
