Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

A 4-day trek to Machu Picchu. A tough hike through the Andes, but maybe not as tough as the toilet situation on the Inca Trail in 2017. I did all I could to not have to enter the trail lavatories, especially after one of my cousins described it "like going to war." There were some trekking companies that had set up tent toilets for their groups - if I were to go back I would definitely request this "luxury".
