题目内容

  Hiking is not only one of the best forms of physical exercise, but it is also one of the best forms of mental relaxation. It is good for all ages and especially good as a family and group activity.

  Since there are so many different kinds of hiking, it is not possible to give any general rules to follow.Short and frequent hikes, needing no planning or special equipment, are enjoyed by most people.

  ● Keep in shape by walking at a fast pace for at least 15 minutes every day. Climbing stairs instead of using a lift and running not too far are also good ways of keeping in shape.

  ● On any hike nothing is more important than good, comfortable shoes.

  ● The things you take might include matches in a waterproof box, a knife, compass, map, first aid items and flashlight.

  ● Cameras may be taken, but don't load with too much.

  ● On longer hikes keep a comfortable, steady pace and take rest stops often.

  ● Drink only safe water.If in doubt, boil the water.

  ● Don't go along the busy roads.When you have to use a road, keep as far over on the left as possible.

  ● Leave word at home or some other place as to where you are going and when you plan to return.

  ● on almost any hike, a map is a good idea.If going into a strange place, a detailed map is most helpful.

  ● Take along a field guide on flowers, birds, rocks, or other subjects depending upon your interests. This can add greatly to the enjoyment and educational value of your hike.

  After our early morning wake-up, we are still a couple of hours away from the overlooks.It is pitch black.I can feel the heavy humid fog left behind my last night's rain.This is why the tour memo listed“flashlight”.Unfortunately; the majority of our hiking party of nine must have missed the memo, so we have only four flashlights between us.

  An hoar later, we are on the trail.It is dark, foggy, wet and the rocks are alippery.We alternate places between the flashlights“haves”and“have-nots”.As we march, the only voices heard are from the“haves”:“Step up, step down, watch out for the rock on your left.”

  We reach Intipunku with only 15 minutes to spare.The view at sunrise is not what we were told in the travel brochures.Three feet in front of our faces is a white substance called“fog”.

  As we walk towards the Machu Picchu ruins, my anticipation is mounting.When will the fog lift?Slowly, as if someone is cranking up a curtain, Huayna Picchu begins to appear, overlooking Machu Picchu.First there are fleeting glimpses, and then finally, there is, in its full splendor.

  When I envisioned going to Machu Picchu, I always thought of mysterious ruins and the famous postcard picture looking toward Huayna Picchu.But there is more to this man-made/natural wonder of the World.It is the adventure of getting there.I knew I wanted to experience the feel of the Inca culture and the energy of this sacred valley, I also knew I didn't want to take the train, but needed to hike.Depending on your starting point, the Inca Trail is 25 to 33miles of semi-arid desert, breathless mountain passes and stunning tropical cloud forest.Our hike took us four nights and 25 miles to finish.

  Our local guide MaurO keeps telling us“no worries, the hike is 90 percent mental and only 10 percent physical.”I am not convinced that the physical percentage is correct, but I definitely become more and more excited as we are now getting closer to Machu Picchu.By getting myself into good shape, running 20 miles and hiking a 500-foot-high hill five to seven times per week before I left for Peru, I was able to enjoy the beauty of the hike and not worry much about aching muscles and lungs.
