Day 1: 12 kms. Km 82 (2600 metres above sea level) to Wayllabamba (3100m) Our Inca trail began at 6 am (without Evans, who did a different trek) when we were picked up from our hostel and almost ended half an hour later, when our bus broke down. I don´t think there was much car knowledge amongst our crew, as they seemed to think throwing buckets of cold water at the bus was a good solution. For... Read Full Entry

Hello name's canadianjay, i was wondering if you could help? I was looking into what trek company you went with? How much? and how much stuff you brought with you? Did you have enough water? Any other things you could remember would be great thanks for your time ANy other infor would be great? Did anyone in your group stay the extra day to climb Waynu Picchu ? Is it worth staying another day to do see from that view?

hi jay, we went with peru treks. they were really good. highly recommend them, but you have to book well (months maybe) in advance. think it was roughly US$500, give or take. we didn't take too much - just sleeping bag and change of clothes. they carry your tent for you, and you can hire a porter to carry your bag if you want, or just carry it yourself. had plenty of water, they provide it, and massive amounts of food. a few people stayed on the next day, but mainly just hanging around aguas caliente (the town), rather than climbing WP. apparently if you try and ask around 10.30/11ish (after you've done the trek) you can climb it, because not everyone uses their tickets. that's about it. brigid
