This is the Inca trail, and for the past 3 days i have been working my way up this kinda on and off. We started on a biking tour downhill for the 1st part of the 1st day and that was really fun, we saw many cool sights. I was lucky enought to have a shower each night, which was necessary after a 11hour hike yesterday and a 8 hour one the day before. Ive seen coca plantations, coffee fields and tons of bannanas and oranges. The hikes have been long and i happened to fall into a group where everyone speaks French, German or Spanish, which isn´t that bad because i speak Spanish but 90% of the time everyone is speaking so fast in there native tongue its hard to understand anything. But alas i finally arrived in Aguas Calienties this afternoon as we await the trip to the top of Machu Picchu tomorrow at 4am! It´s been a hard journey to this tiny tourist town where the only way in is by foot or train but it was well worth the hard work and perilous cliffs sometimes. Next step, climb the 2,000 steps and face the mighty Mountain!Chao,
