INKA TRAIL - DAY 4

WIÑAY WAYNA – INTI PUNKU – MACHU PICCHU

03:30 am wake up call, how awful…It doesn’t matter how many times in my life I’ve been up so early I won’t get use to. After packing my duffle bag and getting ready I sat for breakfast at 4:00 am, I couldn’t eat much but the table was full of food, pancakes, roast potatoes, porridge and more, they obviously tried to get rid of the food leftovers.


After breakfast we walked to the last checking point (05 min), the one the was still closed since opens at 5:30 am and there was a lot people who was waiting for longer than me and all standing, or seating in my case, for the gate to open, it was pitch black; I only could see the flash lights blinding me; it wasn’t nice at all, but I think I was a bit moody for the early wake up.

LARES TREK - Cuzco

Hey fellow travelers,

Inca Trail is probably one of the most popular treks in the world, and around 500 people walk it every day, that’s why getting a permit results a nightmare sometimes. If you didn’t get your permit in advance or simply you don’t like much crowed places but you still want to walk thru the Andes, here you have an option well-known as Lares Trek.

This trek is 3 days and 2 nights camping in the other river bank of the Inca trail, and if it’s true that you won’t see archeological sites along the way or you won’t end up in the famous Machu Picchu, you will be almost on your own in the heart of the Andes.
