Machu Picchu: Wedel & Team Trek to Winay Wayna
Saturday, August 23, 2024 - 6:52 pm PT
“Good morning my friend!” Elbin says every morning as he wakes us up with hot tea and coffee at our tents with a big huge smile. Today was no different. We woke up looking into a valley of moving clouds, packed all our stuff, had a quick breakfast and hit the trail. One last big day was ahead.
We stopped at archeological sites, went up and down two more passes and finally arrived at Winay Wayna - our final camp before Machu Picchu. We were on the trail for over eight hours walking the 600-year old stone path. Tonight, we celebrated all the people that helped make this trek possible - our porters, cooks, and local guides! Complete with a freshly baked cake. We can’t say enough about how incredible they have made this experience.
Tomorrow we have just two hours to walk until we arrive at Machu Picchu and we are all looking forward to it.
Woo hoo!!
