May 27 2007 The Inca Trail begins








We got up at 5am and got on a bus headed for the start of the Inca trail.
The trail is 49 km long in total and gets to altitudes of 4200m above sea level, make sure you carry some coca leaves to help with the altitude.
We met our guide Ernesto and set out in a group of 14. The porters carried the tents and cooking gear and raced off ahead of us to setup camp.
The trail is specatular, each view more amazing than the next, there are even a few Inca ruins along the way (Llactapata is pictured here)
