A MODERN PILGRIMAGE A modern pilgrimage Trekking the Inca Trail
Rodrigo Cabrera THE INCA TRAIL TO MACHU PICCHU HAS BEEN NAMED AS ONE OF THE BEST TRAILS IN THE WORLD BY NUMEROUS PUBLICATIONS. FOLLOWING INCA ROADS THROUGH THE EXOTIC GEOGRAPHY OF CUSCO AND EXPLORING WELL-PRESERVED RUINS IS AN EXPERIENCE LIKE FEW OTHERS IN THE WORLD. DURING 2014, 175,000 PEOPLE TOOK THE TRAIL; A FIGURE THAT SHOWS US THAT THE TRAIL IS MORE POPULAR THAN EVER. By Diego Oliver It is 5 o’clock in the morning. It is still before dawn and it is very cold. The porters call “hot water!”, to wake up the walkers, as they leave a jug of water outside each tent. Lanterns are lit. Mist covers the high jungle hilltops of Wiñay Wayna, a complex of ruins on the Inca Trail and the last stop on the great trek to the citadel of Machu Picchu. The cook is already making breakfast and the porters, hardy men who hail mainly from the Andean communities in the Sacred Valley, prepare to strike camp before continuing to the citadel built on the orders of Inca Pachacutec in the 14th Century. Breakfast consists of hot drinks, fruit, oats, bread and cheese. A hearty breakfast is necessary before facing this long and complicated route. The walk —of approximately 40 kilometres depending on the starting point— begins with a descent down stone steps, lasting three hours. You start to warm up after only a few yards. The sky starts to turn blue and the mist begins to dissipate. Machu Picchu is not far away. Every year more than 50,000 people from all over the world come to walk one of its most popular treks. /25
