Cusco streets, Sacred Valley terraces, and the train line to Aguas Calientes — each note written after the walk.
Passports, cash in soles, layering for seventeen-hour days — the unglamorous details that decide how the trip goes.
What we wish we had packed, which bus filled first, and the hour the citadel was still empty.
We write from the trail after the trip ends: train timings that actually work, passport checks that catch people at 4 a.m., and the quiet hours between ruins when the valley is still cool.
No packing-list fluff and no brochure adjectives — just what we would tell a friend before the same full-day run.
