Trek to Machu Picchu: Day 4 (The Muddiest Day)
Was that the worst two hours of hiking in my life? (not quite, but it was pretty bad!) Despite the mud, it was exhilarating to make it to Aguas Calientes!

22 years ago... Oh how I remember walking into Aguas Calientes. The images of this little village brings back such great memories for me. It brings tears to my eyes. I wish my wife was still with us to see these images of your adventure.

I'm so happy this brought back those memories for you! I can already tell that I'm going to hold moments from this trek so close to my heart, I'm sure for the rest of my life.
Great videos, perfect choice of music for the nature and vistas we see. Thanks for taking the time to document this incredible experience. Appreciate it very much.

You're so welcome, as ever I've loved sharing these journeys!
The power of water. It is out in nature that one is made keenly aware of it. Cheers and adventure on!

Thanks, I'm pleased that I didn't slip and fall and face plant into the mud... :)
Totally stunning environment--despite the rain and mud! That looked like quite the wet slog. So excited for the next day!

But I have to say, even though that muddy descent was kind of awful, it was also kind of... fun? In the sense that we were all in it together and hiking in the Andes and the next day we'd be at Machu Picchu, so it was all kind of incredible!
Good hotel yes !! Knowing that lovely feeling 😊

I still can't believe how luxurious that hotel felt after only a few days of trekking! But wow, the shower was so nice :)
Mud is so real!!! Great work

Thanks so much!!
Looks like you adhered to the refrain from the AT with respect to its mud which is to say "embrace the suck".
