Day 5: Salkantay Trail
The Inca Empire ruled over Peru from around 1450 to 1530. Prior to the Incas, Peru was made up of many fragmented communities. The empire the Incas created was truly great. They built sophisticated roadways and created an administrative bureaucracy. As with so many empires, they must have thought that theirs would last forever.
The arrival of the Spanish would bring their short reign to an end. Spain's rapid conquest obliterated most of what the Incas had built. We'll be exploring the ruins, and trying to piece together their story from the wreckage of history.
We'll visit the Inca town of Limatambo, the village of Mollepata and the Tarawasi ruins. Tonight we'll camp in the shadow of a glacier at Soyrococha.
