The Inca Trail

photos by Ian because Dave's camera died the day before he started the hike.
Thanks Ian!
The group had a wonderful time, March 5-9 , had bonded well two days prior and just kept on having fun!
The twelve muskateers

and their 20 porters and 2 chefs

here we go

and there go the non hikers

Awesome guide, Roger

Rose will come on this train in four days

The gifts and blessing before they start

Suzie using natural dental floss


Evidence of the first of many ruins

Always let the porters go ahead... they have the food and set up the tents

200 hikers and 300 guides and porters are allowed on the trail each day

Susie, Laura and Lindsay...Australia, England and Canada



Beauty emerges from rocks


Just moving over to  let the hikers go by.. Sheesh, same time every day they tramp past here!


cave

break time

we are here!

making camp

tents are up when they arrived

porters cheer on each arrival each day

soup and beverages ready as you arrive


warmer on day 2

Lindsay, Ian, Suzie, Ash, Mark and Chad

heading up to the highest point







The highest point of the trail, 4150 meters

ok, a little higher!



Coming down was just as difficult for some knees

and up again!
Cards at the end of the day
