Zannah in Cusco
Here’s Zannah, not showing any signs that she’d just spent the previous four days lugging a 12.5kg (28lb) pack over the 43km (27 mile) Inca Trail at altitudes up to 4200m (13,800 feet) above sea level. Turns out she also developed a wicked blister about 10 minutes into the hike – so soon that I suspect it may have actually happened at our group’s breakfast before setting out, when she walked all the way from the table to the buffet… With my own backpack weighing in at a measly 8kg (18lb), I still found the hike to be a challenge, so hats off to Zannah’s tour de force.

Group at WinaywaynaWhen our Inca Trail group arrived at Winaywayna, our campsite for the third and final night of the hike, our guide casually mentioned that there was a ruin nearby that we could check out if we wanted. It’s just a 5-minute hike away, he said – does anyone want to go? We said sure, why not, expecting to see a few stone huts. The next thing you know we’re standing at this spot, overlooking one of the coolest Inca ruins on the whole trip, topped only by Machu Picchu the next morning.
