Macchu Picchu - Day 1

We arrived at kilometer 82, the official start of the trail, at 8:00am in order to go through the check point, allow the porters to get their packs weighed, and generally kick off the tour. We are glad to say that we were one of two couples who decided to carry all our own stuff. We were in a group of 16, with Ebs and Richo being the youngest and second youngest respectively. We were accompanied by a champion guide by the name of Jose, and a team of 25 porters.

The company we went with was called SAS travel, and the service was amazing. We ate three course meals, and the info we received on the way was awesome... really good to know what we were actually looking at.

It was a crusy 9km walk the first day, which passed through a few ruins and gave us our first real taste of the scenary to come.
