Macchu Picchu

What training regimen should I do to trek the inca trail to Macchu Picchu?
Going in September and already in ok shape but worried about altitude (never been that high) and also the climb. Any advice?
the Inca trail is actually a fairly mild trek. If you’re worried about the altitude, bet to get to Cuzco 2 or 3 days ahead of the walk to get accustomed to the thinner air. Bear in mind that the Inca trail starts at a lower altitude than Cuzco, so the time in Cuzco should help you plenty. Glucose should help too, so get lots of candy to take with you.
If you still think the altitude will affect you, try getting Acetak 250. They are altitude pills that you have to take a few day before you go to altitude. the high mountain rescue patrol in Peru uses them.
Make sure you are using a licensed guide. Access to the Inca trail is now restricted only to tours operated by licensed guides.

The Heights of Macchu Picchu by Neruda, Pablo; Tarn, Nathaniel Edition ILL, 0 $15.99 The Heights of Macchu Picchu is the finest and most famous of Neruda’s longer poems and provides the key to his earlier work. It was inspired by his journey to Macchu Picchu, the Peruvian Inca city high in the Andes. Neruda’s journey takes on all the symbolic qualities of a personal venture into the interior as the poem progresses, exploring both the roots of the poet’s identity and the history of Latin America. This translation has been rendered by the distinquished poet Nathaniel Tarn and is presented in a bilingual edition, with the Spanish and English texts on facing pages. |

Turn Right at Machu Picchu $9.99 What happens when an unadventurous adventure writer tries to re-create the original expedition to Machu Picchu? In 1911, Hiram Bingham III climbed into the Andes Mountains of Peru and “discovered” Machu Picchu. While history has recast Bingham as a villain who stole both priceless artifacts and credit for finding the great archeological site, Mark Adams set out to retrace the explorer’s perilous path in search of the truth—except he’d written about adventure far more than he’d actually lived it. In fact, he’d never even slept in a tent. Turn Right at Machu Picchu is Adams’ fascinating and funny account of his journey through some of the world’s most majestic, historic, and remote landscapes guided only by a hard-as-nails Australian survivalist and one nagging question: Just what was Machu Picchu?   |
