Superhikers

Back from our Inca Trail trek. 4 days and 28 miles later we ended up at Machu Picchu this morning. It´s unbelievable. Although it´s quite the cliche, the journey itself was truly the best part. We started in a valley and hiked up over 4500 feet past snow covered mountains, and then back down through the jungle in a cloud forest. Tomorrow we are trying to get down to Santiago, Chile. It´s actually been a little bit more difficult than initially anticipated. We are quickly learning why people say to take your time and have patience when traveling in South America. Apparently we have a reservation for a plane flight to Chile tomorrow, but not an actual ticket. Of course we learned this by email right before leaving on our trek where we were completely out of communication with society. We may be on an overnight bus this time tomorrow to the Salt Flats of upper Chile instead. Then on to Santiago/Valpo the next day. We´ll keep you updated. Pictures to follow.
