Last April, my boyfriend Jasper and I hiked the 4-day Inca Trail, and I can honestly say it was one of the most beautiful experiences of our lives. From the breathtaking views and the many impressive Inca ruins you encounter every day, to the fun within the group, the climbing, sleeping in a tent, the admiration for the porters and cooks, and finally Machu Picchu on day 4—words simply fall short.
The only thing I can recommend to everyone is: just do it!!
And if you really want to do it right, book it through Jessie and Jorge. Not only do they truly think along with you and take everything off your hands, they are also incredibly helpful, great people, and have a huge amount of Peru experience.
I wish I could be back on the Trail next week!
