I think the state of me in this picture shows how tough the climb to the top of Dead Womans Pass actually was. The altitude at this point was 4200m

Trek Itinerary
The Inca Trail is one of the ten best treking routes in the world.
I am taking part in a 10 day trip to embark on this trail which is still kind of unbelievable!! The trek is at altitude which makes it even tougher, the highest point is 4200m
DAY 1 Today I will fly from London to Lima
DAY 2 I will fly from Lima to Cusco and spend the day acclimatising to the altitude
DAY 3 Day in Cusco acclimatizing
DAY 4 Spending the day having a warm up hike over part of the Inca Trail
DAY 5 The trek officially begins!!! Start treking the Inca Trail (4-5 hours walking)
DAY 6 Today the group will climb Dead Womans Pass (not sure I like the sound of that!!) 4200m, this is the highest point of the trek (7-8 hours walking)
DAY 7 We will climb Runkuracay Pass at 4000m (8-10 hours walking)
DAY 8 Early morning start (4am!!!!) in order to reach the destination of the trip Machu Picchu in time for sunrise (3 hours walking)
DAY 9 Fly home, Cusco-Lima-London
