While we didn´t do the traditional Inca Trail hike, we did a 4-day trek through the jungle that included mountain biking and hiking on parts of the Inca Trail (there are actually about 8 Inca Trails into Machu Picchu). I went with my sister and her friend and we had an amazing time. We got up at 4am to get up to Machu Picchu by bus by 6am – in time to see the mist shrouding the ancient city and watch the sun rise above the Andes. What a beatiful, magical, sacred place! I even hiked a hula hoop with me on the entire trek so I could hoop at Machu Picchu. Best hooping spot ever! We climbed Waynapicchu, the mountain overlooking the ruins, and I hooped there, too. It was an amazing experience, I must go back! :)
