These misty images for Ailsa’s Weekly Travel Theme are from our trek to Machu Picchu in June last year. They seem to be the perfect complement to my submission to this week’s Photo Challenge: Threshold.
The six day trek with Mountain Lodges of Peru along the Salkantay Trail to reach Machu Picchu was filled with moments of great beauty, triumph and exhaustion all experienced each day in the ever-changing magnificent Peruvian landscape seen so hauntingly in these misty mountain scenes and reflections in the turquoise water of Lake Humantay.
If you would like to see more of our journey I invite you to follow our trek day by day by visiting the early posts on my blog last June. Happy Trekking 🙂

Breath-taking. My wife wants to visit Machu Picchu sometime in the future. Is the only way in to walk 6 days? We’d better start working out now.

You can always take the train but the trek is about the journey as much as it is about the destination.

Andrew, I evidently reblogged your fabulous adventure unintentionally. I meant to “like” it tremendously but missed the mark somehow. I realized this morning, when people became curious about my travels to Machu Picchu, even though your picture is right on top. Oh well, for a minute I was living my dreams:)
