The Inca Trail 31st May - 4th June The plan is as follows, we completed a community visit on day one, before the 4 day Inca trail. The village we visited was where the Quecha or porters lived. They are locals that carry upto 25kgs around the trail with us. We were to have 8 Quecha, one who was a chef and another an assistant chef. I (Andrew) will write about our visit and day 3 of the trek, while Sarah will explain the events of days 1, 2 and her birthday on da...

Sexywoman!! We met Cusi for the first time in the early afternoon at 1pm. He came to the hostel to run through what we needed and the plan for the trek. We all hit it off really well.

Cusco We took a day bus to cusco via a semi crazy taxi driver, i guess it would be a job that makes people insane! when we arrived we ran into the English couple from sucre in the bus stop, that was unexpected. The bus was long but pleasantly uneventful and we arrived, taxied and checked in in cusco at Hatun Quilla. It's a cheap family run, place (mix between a hotel and a b&b).
