Inca Trail Day 1
Distance 12km
Altitude change 2800m - 3100m
This morning we started the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. We were picked up from our hotel at 0830 by our guide, Julio Cesar, and driven to “Km 82” which is the start point for the trek.
After ensuring our duffel bags were of the correct weight of 5kg each the porters loaded up and were on their way with us in tow.
The walk today was relatively easy. We did walk 1km more than originally planned because we were walking quickly so our guide was trying to make tomorrow easier. We arrived to our camp around 4pm where we were greeted with afternoon tea of popcorn and crackers and a hot drink.
Our camp for the night was a terraced hillside overlooking mountains, it was gorgeous! Dinner was at 7pm and we were in bed in our cosy tents by 8pm.
