WE MADE IT! (And another 3.0 Milestone)

Posted by Serina Hardiman

Greetings everyone! Or should I say buenas dias! Chris and I have had the absolute time of our lives! The Inka Trail was more than anything our pictures and words could describe but we´ll give it a good try! For now we´ll give the Reader´s Digest version and fill in all the little bits in between. Using a timed internet is a very crazy experience when you have so much to say.

That said, here is our first picture with our group. We´ve made 13 new friends (including our two guides not pictured) we enjoyed sharing the Inka experience with and can`t wait to see their pictures either.

We started off the day early at 4 AM to get ready for our bus pickup at the hotel. It was about 3.5 hours to get from our hotel to km82 which is the beginning of the Inka Trail. Here we took a picture with our group and met each other as we started our journey.

The first day was getting used to the lay of the land and the altitude with a couple of stops. The second day, and they don´t lie, is the hardest (highest pass). The third is the longest (two passes and steep decent) and the fourth is so rewarding as you can see below.

We have plenty of photos we will be sharing as we break down the days. There is so much to tell you! As for now, we´re setting off to Lima to celebrate our birthdays and New Year´s Eve in city style!
