Inka Trail

My first day in the Inka Trail to Matchu Micchu. (4 days - 3 nights)

Machu Picchu's peculiar emplacement, high in the emerald green Andes, is characterized by a mystical cloud forest environment. This type of ecosystem is the habitat of unique species of flora and fauna, some of them threatened with extinction. The invaluable archaeological heritage of the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu combines magnificently with the splendid natural surroundings.
The maximum height above sea level along the way is 4200 meters above sea level (13779 feet above sea level).
