Machu Picchu Helicopter {Gadling}

Jul 12th 2006 9:36AM Speaking from experience, it is kind of frustrating to reach Machu Picchu dirty and hurting and to see many people who got there with much less effort (either by helicoptor or by train/bus from the town below). But at the same time, you see and experience so much on the hike that these people totally miss out on, that in a way you could really just pity them for having missed it. Hard to really do at the time, I know, but I wouldn't trade my trail experience for the world.
