Expectation - The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
Of all of the matters we did and places we noticed for the duration of our three weeks in South America, trekking the Inca Trail in Peru is our favourite reminiscence. It even climbed the ranks as one in every of our all-time loved journey reviews.
And to suppose, I become a little hesitant to do it.
I’d heard a lot approximately how tough the hike is, but that wasn’t what was causing me apprehensive. I like a very good challenge and loved the idea of following within the footsteps of the Inca. We didn’t want to take the clean manner out and arrive to Machu Picchu by means of teach. It might have felt like dishonest.

What first of all held me lower back became my worry of getting unwell on the Inca Trail. I worried the lack of oxygen from the high altitude would kick my butt (my cardiovascular persistence is pathetic). What if I were given meals poisoning? What if I were given the flu? What if I got blisters? What if, what if, what if?
And if I’m being completely sincere, the concept of going four days with out a bath became now not appealing.
Doubts apart, hiking the Inca Trail turned out to be a exceptional experience. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. We did experience the effects of the altitude (Mike extra so than me) however it became doable. And sure, my biggest fear got here actual- I got sick on the Inca Trail. Luckily it changed into on Day 1, the “easy day”.
Still, the four day Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu wasn’t as torturous as I idea it was going to be.
All the challenges along the way made the revel in much greater fulfilling. The experience of feat I felt at the cease of the Inca Trail became outstanding. It changed into very rewarding to get out of my comfort area, conquering doubts and fears. Then throw in all the fantastic vistas and Inca ruins we noticed along the way, and that made for an unforgettable experience.
I am so happy I determined to hike the Inca Trail!
