Et c'est l'aboutissement final de ce trek du Salkantay ... roulement de tambour ... le Machu Picchu !! (A prononcer Piktchou, pas Pitchou, sinon au lieu de "vieille montagne", ça veut dire "vieux pénis". Ça claque moins d'un coup)

Comme on est des warriors (et qu'on ne veut pas payer 12$ parcequ'on est pingres), on décide de faire la montée depuis Agua Calientes jusqu'au site à pied : 1800marches de comptées, et ça passe crème ! Il est loin le temps de l'Asie où j'affrontais ma Némésis (l'escalier) dans la souffrance, en rampant au bout de 200 marches 😎

Bon, comme on est des warriors fatiguées et que finalement, 12$ est ce que c'est si pire que ça ?, au retour, on prendra le bus. Pitié pour nos genoux.

Du coup, bienvenue dans la fabuleuse ville du Machu Picchu, Construite vers 1420 par les Incas et abandonnée suite à l'invasion espagnole fort peu de temps après. Sur la photo ci dessous, vous voyez un mur reconstitué : le bas, c'est l'original, et le dessus qu'on dirait assemblé par le stagiaire de l'UNESCO, c'est la remise en état. Apparemment, c'est une demande de l'organisation qu'on puisse faire facilement la différence entre ancien et nouveau ...

Au Machu Picchu, plein de terrasses tout du long de la montagne. Les sources divergent, mais ce n'était pas forcément pour faire de l'agriculture, comme dans le reste du pays, mais principalement utilisé pour stabiliser toutes les constructions au dessus et pour drainer l'eau ! Ah, et pour mettre des jardins d'orchidées apparemment, parceque quand même, c'est plus joli.

Le Machu Picchu, c'est avant tout un centre religieux permettant de centraliser les membres convertis de toutes les petites tribus absorbées par les Incas. Ces derniers, quand ils colonisaient quelqu'un d'autre, récupéraient toutes les connaissances (hydrologie pour les uns, médecine pour les autres, l'astronomie, stratégie militaire etc...), centralisaient, et s'en servaient pour augmenter leur puissance. La cité servait de satellite de rayonnement pour amener ces connaissances tout autour !

Pourquoi ici ? A priori à cause de son positionnement central entre les montagnes (plein de lieux sacrés) et la jungle (source de magie). Comme il y avait beaucoup de cérémonies religieuses (ils vénéraient la terre mère et un peu tout ce qui s'en approchait : le soleil, le tonnerre, le vent, etc...), c'était important d'être à un endroit spirituel pour leur peuple ! D'ailleurs, tout autour, il y a plein de pics où les pèlerins allaient faire des offrandes ou payer leurs respects... ça devait piquer de grimper là haut à l'époque !

Concernant les méthodes de construction, notre guide nous a raconté une hypothèse que je trouve folle, et qui s'appliquerait ici surtout pour les autels : la majorité du site est ici gravée directement dans les blocs de la montagne, pas issus de carrières lointaines. En ce qui concerne les fameux autels, les scientifiques se sont rendus compte que le taux de quartz est plus élevé que pour le reste des pierres. De même, sur pas mal de sites archéologiques, ils se sont rendus compte que la composition des roches est différente (en pourcentage) de celle des carrières toutes proches dont les blocs ont forcément été tirés... ils ont aussi appris grâce à des légendes ou traces orales que les Incas faisaient parfois des pèlerinages jusqu'à la mer pour récupérer du guano. L'hypothèse de fertilisation des sols ne tient pas trop la route, puisque la terre est ici très fertile... voici donc une des façons d'assembler les pièces du puzzle : la création de géopolymères.

C'est bien beau Touille, mais c'est quoi un géopolymère ? Eh bien c'est un assemblage de roche broyée, de sel, de guano (ou d'alcool de maïs) et de quelques autres composants, qui permet de recréer ... de nouvelles roches! Et a priori, de façon très très propre, puisqu'elles ne sont pas plus friables ou cassantes que celles d'origine, et pas différenciables à l'oeil nu ! Cette hypothèse expliquerait comment des blocs de plusieurs centaines de tonnes ont pu apparaître sur certains sites archéologiques... J'adore l'idée !! (Des prototypes ont été réalisés, et a priori ça marche vraiment)

Sinon, dans les trucs rigolos, les Incas estimaient qu'ils étaient sacrés. Du coup, la seule source d'eau (qu'on ait trouvée) passait en premier dans des genres de toilettes, où ils pouvaient aller se laver, "purifiant l'eau"... puis l'eau passait dans les fontaines où les gens allaient boire... je ne veux même pas imaginer ce que ça donnait !!

Sur la photo ci dessous, vous voyez deux récipients dans lesquels on mettait de l'eau, et lorsque le soleil passait par la fenêtre, il se reflétait dans les deux vasques, créant un double astre solaire. Un des exemples concrets de religion qu'on a pu trouver sur le site !

Il y a littéralement de quoi écrire un livre sur cet endroit, avec probablement autant d'interprétations que d'historiens d'ailleurs, donc je vais m'arrêter là, mais en tout cas on était très satisfaites de notre visite !

A noter qu'il n'a jamais été "perdu" ou oublié par les populations locales, quand il a commencé à être remis en état, quelques familles vivaient sur place et cultivaient sur les terrasses... il a juste fallu déterrer et dépoussiérer un peu ! Il reste d'ailleurs probablement encore 40% de sa surface dans la jungle, c'est un travail de conservation et reconstitution de titan ...

De notre côté, on a fini la journée aux thermes d'eau chaude, ça fait tellement de bien aux muscles 🥰 (moins à nos maillots de bain qui, si l'on en croit nos deux culottes qui sont toujours aussi trempées après deux jours à sécher dans la chambre, devraient garder strictement le même niveau d'humidité quand on les rangera dans le sac demain ...)

Machu Picchu to the Sacred Valley: Peru’s Ancient Incan Treasures

Nestled high in the Andes Mountains of Peru, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu form the heart of the ancient Incan civilization. These iconic sites offer a glimpse into Peru’s rich history, awe-inspiring landscapes, and cultural vibrancy. For travelers, this journey is more than just a visit—it’s an adventure through time, where ruins tell tales of ingenuity and resilience.

The Sacred Valley: A Gateway to Incan Heritage

The Sacred Valley, or Urubamba Valley, stretches between the towns of Pisac and Ollantaytambo, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and historical intrigue.

Ollantaytambo: The Living Incan Town Known as a “living Incan town,” Ollantaytambo features well-preserved ruins and cobblestone streets. Its fortress, perched on a hillside, offers panoramic views of the valley and is a testament to Incan military strategy.

Moray and Maras Discover the circular agricultural terraces of Moray, believed to be an Incan laboratory for crop cultivation. Nearby, the Maras salt mines—a series of terraced salt pools—offer a unique landscape and insight into ancient salt extraction techniques.

The Journey to Machu Picchu

Reaching Machu Picchu is an adventure in itself, with options ranging from train rides to trekking routes like the Inca Trail.

Scenic Train Ride The train journey from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Town) winds through the Sacred Valley, offering breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, lush jungles, and roaring rivers.

Trekking Options For the adventurous, the Inca Trail, Salkantay Trek, or Lares Trek provide a more immersive experience of the Andes’ rugged beauty.

The Ultimate Guide to Adventure Travel

Adventure travel is all about stepping outside your comfort zone and diving into exhilarating experiences that challenge your body, mind, and spirit. Whether it's scaling a mountain peak, diving deep into the ocean, or trekking through remote jungles, adventure travel is a thrilling way to explore the world. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about planning your next adventure—from types of adventure activities to top destinations and essential safety tips.

Introduction to Adventure Travel

What is Adventure Travel?

Adventure travel is a type of tourism that involves exploring distant, often rugged, locations and engaging in physically demanding activities. Unlike traditional tourism, which tends to focus on relaxation and sightseeing, adventure travel emphasizes active participation, whether you're climbing, hiking, diving, or even skydiving. It's about the thrill of the unknown and pushing personal limits.

Why Choose Adventure Travel Over Traditional Tourism?

If you're looking for more than just relaxing by the pool or visiting crowded tourist attractions, adventure travel offers an exciting alternative. It allows you to experience nature up close, immerse yourself in diverse cultures, and create stories you'll be telling for years to come. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to stay active while traveling, making your journey both physically and mentally rewarding.

Types of Adventure Travel

Land-Based Adventures

Adventure on land offers an extensive range of activities. Whether you love hiking or crave the adrenaline rush of mountain climbing, there’s something for everyone.

Hiking and Trekking

Some of the world’s most stunning landscapes are best seen on foot. From the Inca Trail in Peru to the Appalachian Trail in the USA, trekking offers a close connection to nature. Depending on the location, these hikes can last from a few hours to several days, offering varying levels of difficulty.

Mountain Climbing

For those who love a challenge, mountain climbing is an exhilarating way to conquer nature’s giants. Mount Everest might be the ultimate goal for climbers, but there are plenty of other peaks—like Mount Kilimanjaro or the Swiss Alps—that offer spectacular climbing experiences for all skill levels.

Desert Safaris

Explore vast desert landscapes on a thrilling desert safari. Whether it’s riding camels across the Sahara or dune bashing in the Arabian Desert, these adventures offer unique insights into some of the planet's most extreme environments.

Water-Based Adventures

For those who love being on (or under) the water, aquatic adventures provide an array of thrilling opportunities.

Scuba Diving and Snorkeling

If the ocean is your playground, scuba diving in places like the Great Barrier Reef or the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives is a dream come true. For those not ready to go deep, snorkeling can offer equally stunning underwater views of coral reefs and marine life.

White Water Rafting

Ready to take on the rapids? White water rafting trips can be found in rivers all around the world, from the Zambezi River in Africa to the Colorado River in the United States. This high-adrenaline sport offers both teamwork and excitement.

Kayaking and Canoeing

For a calmer yet equally immersive experience, kayaking and canoeing let you navigate through scenic lakes, rivers, and coastal areas. Paddle through fjords in Norway or explore the winding rivers of Southeast Asia.

Air-Based Adventures

If you're seeking a bird's-eye view of the world, air-based adventures like skydiving and paragliding can give you an unparalleled perspective.

Skydiving

Jumping out of a plane may not be for everyone, but the adrenaline rush of freefalling through the sky is unbeatable. Skydiving destinations range from the Swiss Alps to the beaches of Hawaii.

Paragliding

For a more tranquil but still thrilling experience, paragliding lets you soar over mountains and valleys, often for extended periods. It's an ideal way to combine the adrenaline of flying with the beauty of stunning landscapes.

Hot Air Ballooning

If you prefer something gentler, hot air ballooning offers a serene yet breathtaking view of landscapes below. Fly over Cappadocia’s unique rock formations or drift above the African savannas at sunrise.

Top Destinations for Adventure Travel

When it comes to adventure travel, certain destinations stand out for their natural beauty and the variety of activities they offer.

Patagonia, Argentina

Patagonia is a dream destination for hikers and climbers. Its dramatic landscapes include towering mountains, expansive glaciers, and crystal-clear lakes.

New Zealand

New Zealand is famous for its diverse adventure activities. From bungee jumping in Queenstown to hiking in Fiordland National Park, it’s an adventure lover’s paradise.

Iceland

With its volcanic landscapes, glaciers, and geysers, Iceland offers a range of unique outdoor activities, including ice climbing and exploring lava caves.

Nepal

Known for being home to Mount Everest, Nepal offers some of the world’s best trekking experiences. The Annapurna Circuit is a favorite among hikers.

Costa Rica

For eco-adventures, Costa Rica is unbeatable. Rainforests, volcanoes, and coastlines provide opportunities for zip-lining, wildlife tours, and surfing.

How to Prepare for an Adventure Travel Trip

Physical Fitness and Endurance

Adventure travel is physically demanding, so it’s essential to be in good shape. Train for your trip by working on your endurance, strength, and flexibility, especially if your adventure involves hiking, climbing, or water sports.

Packing Essentials

Packing for an adventure trip requires a bit more thought than packing for a regular vacation.

Clothing

Choose moisture-wicking fabrics, sturdy footwear, and layers for various weather conditions. Adventure destinations often involve unpredictable climates.

Gear and Equipment

Depending on your activity, you may need specialized gear such as hiking poles, a wetsuit, or climbing equipment. Be sure to pack what’s necessary for your specific adventure.

Understanding Local Cultures and Customs

Being aware of the local culture and respecting customs is crucial for any trip. Learn a bit about the language and traditions of the region you’re visiting to make your journey smoother and more rewarding.

Safety Tips for Adventure Travel

Hiring a Guide or Going Solo

If you’re new to adventure travel, hiring a local guide can be invaluable. They’ll not only ensure your safety but also provide insight into the best routes, hidden gems, and local culture. Solo adventuring is possible but comes with risks, especially in remote areas.

Researching the Terrain and Weather

Before heading out, research the terrain and weather conditions of your destination. Understanding the local environment helps prevent accidents and keeps you prepared for sudden changes in weather.

Staying Hydrated and Energized

When you’re physically active, it’s easy to get dehydrated or run out of energy. Make sure to carry enough water and snacks for your journey to keep yourself fueled and alert.

Sustainable Adventure Travel

Minimizing Your Environmental Impact

Adventure travel often takes place in fragile ecosystems. Practice Leave No Trace principles by minimizing waste, sticking to designated paths, and respecting wildlife.

Supporting Local Communities

One of the best ways to make your adventure more meaningful is by supporting local businesses. Choose locally-owned accommodations and tour companies to help boost the local economy.

The Benefits of Adventure Travel

Building Confidence and Overcoming Fears

Adventure travel pushes you beyond your limits, helping you build confidence and conquer fears. Whether it’s summiting a peak or diving into deep waters, these experiences leave lasting impacts on your personal growth.

Connecting with Nature

There's nothing quite like the feeling of standing atop a mountain, surrounded by untouched wilderness, or paddling through a pristine lake. Adventure travel reconnects you with the natural world in a way that few other experiences can.

Gaining New Perspectives

Traveling off the beaten path exposes you to new cultures, ways of living, and worldviews. These experiences broaden your horizons and deepen your understanding of the world.

Challenges in Adventure Travel

Physical Challenges

Adventure travel can be physically demanding. Long hikes, high altitudes, or intense sports can take a toll on the body, so it's important to prepare ahead of time.

Mental Challenges

The unpredictable nature of adventure travel often presents mental challenges. Facing unknown environments, rough terrains, or even homesickness can test your mental endurance.

Navigating Remote Locations

Remote destinations often lack amenities, making navigation and access to resources more challenging. Carry maps, have a backup plan, and ensure your health and safety gear are in good condition.

Best Time for Adventure Travel

Seasonal Considerations

Different adventure activities are best enjoyed during specific seasons. For instance, hiking in the Himalayas is best in the spring and fall, while skiing is a winter sport.

Weather Conditions by Destination

Check the weather patterns for your destination and plan accordingly. Some destinations, like the Sahara, are best avoided during the extreme heat of summer, while others, like Iceland, can be treacherous during the winter.

Budgeting for Adventure Travel

Affordable Adventure Travel Destinations

Not all adventure trips have to break the bank. Destinations like Southeast Asia or Central America offer incredible adventure activities at a fraction of the cost of places like Europe or New Zealand.

Tips for Saving on Gear and Travel Expenses

Renting equipment instead of buying it and traveling during the off-season are two great ways to save money. Additionally, booking your trip well in advance or choosing budget accommodations can help cut costs.

Adventure travel offers more than just thrills—it’s an opportunity for personal growth, connection with nature, and a deeper understanding of the world around you. Whether you’re exploring deserts, mountains, or oceans, the memories and experiences you gain from adventure travel are truly priceless.
