The dead woman's pass at 4200m above sea level is the highest pass on the trail. It's a good two to three hour climb from the valley floor and even with the aid of the Inca cut steps, it is a hard haul. Of course, we had the best weather of the trip this day and it was raging hot and sunny. Actually, that's not good weather for climbing...lol. I must admit I was glad I wasn't carrying the stove, tent, and food at this point.

Great comments on Machu Picchu but I don't think the porter thing is just a money grab. The trail was being loved to death by people who were leaving trash and damage behind - the porters help control this. | Makaron Mon Jul 9, 2007 10:03 UTC
Great tips. I'm going to do Inca trail in October 2007, so your tips were very useful. | SuperCholo Wed Apr 12, 2006 07:28 UTC

Really enjoyed your Machu Picchu pages - is on the short list. Just a shame the flight is so long from Oz. |
