Inca Trail (KM 82 – Phuyupatamarca)
May 2003: We
began our four-day journey late on a Monday after meeting our guide, Patty,
and fellow hikers, Amy, Brad, & Charlotte. Hopefully we were prepared.
Once the trail turned the corner and crossed the Urubamba the true
beauty exposed itself. For the next four
days we suffered from sensory overload.
Pics 1-3 & 9 are of flowers along the path that I have yet to find
names (so if you know learn me). All
the pics are along the Inca Trail from day 2-4 prior to arriving at Machu
Picchu.
