Machu Picchu Pilgrimage

Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu Pilgrimage - It was absolutely the most magnificent time we’ve ever had. We’ll re-live it over and over again. It couldn’t have been any better if we would have written a script. Our trip would not have been as awesome without the vast knowledge, patients and easy-going personality of Ayul Acuna Cardenas our tour guide and the outstanding service and detailed planning we received from the entire staff of Adventure Life Voyages. We are already planning our next adventure and will definitely use Adventure Live to guide us along the way. Thank you everyone.

Day 1; Thursday April 1, 2010

Our Trip to Peru started at 9 a.m. from our residence in Yorktown, VA. We were driving to and departing from Dulles / Regan Airport in Washington DC. The drive was approximately 2 ½ hours and pretty uneventful except for a car that lost its tire and was rolling down Interstate 95, thankfully no one was hurt. This was our first trip to …

Procession in Cusco on Good Friday

Day 2; Friday April 2, 2010 (Good Friday)

We boarded LAN Airline for our flight to Lima. The airplane was a sweet 767 and very clean. Each seat had a TV monitor located on the back of the seat in front of you and had a great selection of programs to choose from at no cost. I didn’t watch any programs but listened to some new age music to help put me to sleep. This was the first …

City of the Sun Temple

Day3; Saturday April 3, 2010 First Full Day in Cusco

The day started with a wakeup call at 5:30 a.m. Once we were ready we went off to a surprisingly well-stocked breakfast buffet in the hotel. As planned, we met Ayul at 9 a.m. in the hotel lobby and started a full day of tourism. Our first stop was the Temple of the Sun and our initial exposure to the architectural stone work done by the Incas. …

Day 4; Sunday April 4, 2010 (Easter Sunday)

This day started with a 5:30 a.m. wake-up call. We went to the hotel dinning room for another scrumptious breakfast. When we finished breakfast we hauled our luggage out to the lobby, checked out of our room, and waited for Ayul to pick us up for another day of sightseeing. This day was going to be different because we were going to be …

Day 5; Monday April 5, 2010 (Day 1 of the Inca Trail)

Our day started with a 5:30 am wake-up call. We grabbed our duffle bags, day packs and the bag we packed of clean clothes that would be sent ahead to the hotel in Aguas Calientes for our night there. We left our suitcases in the lobby because they were going to be stored in the office while we were out on the Inca Trail. We would pick them up …

Day 6; Tuesday April 6, 2010 (Day 2 of the Inca Trail)

We were going to get up at 5:20 a.m. and on the trail by 6 a.m. I woke up a few times during the night, but overall I felt rested in the morning. Before we even got out of the tent we repacked our personal belongings and got ourselves ready for the upcoming day. The porters came to our tent and offered us coca tea or instant coffee and brought …

Day 7; Wednesday April 7, 2010 (Day 3 of the Inca Trail)

We were out of the tent by 5:45 a.m. to use the bathroom. Linda said she didn’t sleep well but I did. We sponged bathed in the tent, packed or personal belongings, and then headed for breakfast. We enjoyed yet another tasty breakfast of pancakes, toast, coffee and hot chocolate. Our hike began at 7:30 a.m. and it was straight uphill. …

Day 8; Thursday April 8, 2010 (Day 4 of the Inca Trail)

What a great morning! It was our 32nd wedding anniversary, and our last day of trekking. We were up at 5 a.m., packed up the tent, and had another filling breakfast of omelets, sausage, toast and cereal. We said goodbye to the porters and gave them each a nice gift (US $ and Soles). They gave us a gift; they sang Happy Birthday to us but they …

Day 9; Friday April 9, 2010

We were up at 6 a.m. and headed down for breakfast in the hotel, another fine meal. We walked through the village and bought a few souvenirs at the market. We walked up to the hot springs but didn’t go in because we were short on time. As we were walking back down the hill Linda stepped in a hole and twisted her ankle, nothing serious, …
