The real Inca Trail is a walking route that leads through the
mountains above the Urubamba river, following (at least partly) the course of an
old Inca roadway leading to the city of Machu Picchu.
The virtual Inca Trail has the following advantages:
- it doesn't take several days to complete (unless you have a
very slow modem)
- there are no flies
- you don't have to start by climbing 2000 metres
- it's suitable even for people who suffer from altitude
sickness or vertigo
- you don't need to carry your own food
- no one has ever got amoebic dysentery on the virtual
Inca Trail (yet)
On the other hand, my photographs are no
substitute for the real thing.
