First things first: Dad and I both made it! For those of you who didn't know, my father flew down to Peru to do the trek to Machu Picchu with me. We did the four day/three night Salkantay trail, which goes to Machu Picchu around Salkantay Mountain from Cusco (the opposite route from the classic Inca Trail). The trail winds its way through mountains, rocky ground, and rainforest, ultimately ending up at the base of the mountain whose top contains the well-hidden city of Machu Picchu, one of the new seven wonders of the world. As with many of my South American ventures, I have a ton of great pictures, but here I have posted twenty or so that capture the essence of our trip, the first (above) being our trekking group right before we started. I hope you enjoy reliving the last four days with me. |
