“I have no garden to play in so I go up the mountain and try to hunt for birds” says 6 year old Joel, brother of the horseman and cousin of the chef as he joins us and gives a running commentary in Quechua as we walk through the village towards the hot springs. It is the wildness of the landscape and the moments of insight into a vibrant indigenous culture that made this Lares treck the right one for me, along with the knowledge that the tour company gave blankets and school computers to the village. Happy Gringo had me listed as ‘one senior’ but possibly had not realised that at 78 I am 13 years above the age limit set by others. I sensed some unease about whether I could manage the Sicllakasa Pass at 4,830M and with Mauro the tour guide in charge I felt very safe and well protected. I had trained as for a half marathon, travelled to Cuzco slowly by bus and adapted to the thin air, having experienced similar altitudes in Yunnan and Uttar Pradesh. We learn on the way of disaster on the Inka trail, a landslide in which three people have died. I wonder why hundreds of people every day feel compelled to do the most dangerous and possibly least enjoyable route up and down steps so they can say they walked to Machu Pichu when they could be following an Inka trail anywhere in the Andes from Ecuador to Chile. I love mountains in the rainy season, and Mauro in the end answered all my questions, showed me the quarry and explained how they moved the stones. Best surprises were that they are Quechua people who follow an Andean religion, that the word Inka just meant king and that their language has a click sound which I thought was exclusive to African languages such as Zulu and Khosa. It is written as a ‘ as in Calle Q’apchikijllu.

We did a two-day hike on the Inca Trail and found it to be very beautiful with lush nature, waterfalls, orchids and fascinating sights on the way. We can absolutely recommend hiking instead of taking the bus to Machu Picchu. The hike is for fitter people though as it goes pretty steep up at certain points.
