Welcome to my Inca Trail homepage!

I finally decided to visit South America for the first time in October 2002. Finally a lifelong dream of watching water spinning down a drain, counter-clockwise, was realized. So began my trip to Peru, starting off briefly in the sprawling metropolis of Lima. But Lima was not the goal here, the Inca Trail and its wonders were the magnet.

Cusco - a city of incredible history. Once the centre of the vast Inca empire. Now a thriving tourist centre and the logical launching point for all trips to one of the greatest archaelogical sites on the planet - MACHU PICCHU

But first meet some of guys from the soccer club "Colonel Bolognesi" from the city of Tacna. They were staying at our hotel in Cusco. The gringo in the middle is Zach, from Montreal. My driver in Lima tells me these guys are doing well this season, they're a young team as you can see.
