The Inca Trail. A 45km hike through the Andes, at altitudes of up to 4,200 metres above sealevel. The experience of a lifetime… I'd arrived in Cuzco with a few days to spare to allow myself time to get used to the altitude, and as everything there revolves around tourism for Machu Piccu I started to feel more and more excited.

The lines were made by removing stones which had been darken...

So, bearing in mind the recommendation from a hippie with a ring-pull in his dreadlocks, here I am in sunny Huacychina. Try saying it fast after a few Pisco Sours.
