You have an idea in your head of what hiking the Inca Trail looks like.

Lots of lush greenery, ancient pathways, maybe some atmospheric fog…

Well, it’s all the above and so much more. So much so that we felt compelled to send legendary photographer Ryan Bolton on our 7-day Inca Trail Express trip to capture it. Without any more preamble, here are the 4 days of the Inca Trail in photos. Enjoy.
