Inca Trail (Day 4 to Intipunku)
May 2003: Day
four promised to be full: long hike (mostly downhill), little warmer &
muggier (outskirts of the jungle), and many sights to see. We tried for an early start, but settled
for a comfortable one. The hike began
down “The 3,000 Steps” (didn’t count but I’ll take their word for it) and
would finish at our destination…Machu Picchu! We took our time to take in the other wonderful sights along
the way.
