Yes! We did the pretty vanilla Inca Trail -- 5 days, 4 nights.
The day before, we stopped at Winay Wayna[1], which was the highlight of our trip. Not sure how true it is, but some say that this was a research site where the Incas would acclimatize plants to different altitudes.
More importantly, it's completely desolate and has no crowds, so you get the place to yourself... At least we did.

- photojosh 7y agoThanks. That article put me on to this book [0] which I am adding to my list straight away. It's a bit of a daydream of mine to explore some of the more off-beat parts of the Inca road, but it's hard to find information about which sections are still walkable. And passable without the rope bridges that they used to use.

- cl42 7y agoGiven your photography skills, that would be immensely cool!
- photojosh 7y agoDon't tell anyone, but I only have an iPhone now. ;) Seriously though, upgraded to the 11 Pro before our first trip to Europe recently. No regrets not having a "real" camera, except every once in a while I miss not having a >= 85mm lens. Things that are way more awkward on a "real" camera: night shots, ultra-wide shots, doing multi-image stacking in crowded tourist spots to get a nicer shot with all the people ghost-like, and so on. Essential accessory: mini tripod+selfie stick+Bluetooth remote.
- cl42 7y agoOh man, I recently got an 11 Pro and feel the same way. No need for any other equipment. Your secret is safe with me.
