This challenging trek takes 4 days and crosses 43 kilometres of the Andes Mountains attaining a height of 4,200 at Dead Woman's Pass. It takes you past Inca cities and fortresses, through various environments including cloud forest and highland jungle and traverses some very steep descents over uneven stone steps. The scenery is magnificent. Our trekking group numbered eight people, from Ireland, Argentina and Brazil, and was booked through tour company, Intense Peru, with Camping Tours doing the actual trek. Our guide, Elistan, was excellent and our team of 10 porters carried heavy loads each day to ensure that every comfort was provided for us en route. We were very grateful to these hard working Quechua men from the highlands. The arrival at the Sun Gate on the final day just as dawn breaks over the nearby mountain tops to gently bathe Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas, in golden light, is a sight that will be forever seared into your memory.
