With only five-hundred available every single day (which include the best guide, cooks and porters), trust me when I say this, they expire quickly.
I became fortunate enough to their hands on mine just last year.
It had been the original 4 day trek with a best months to visit: July - which, incidentally is identical time that Bingham thought we would make his journey. The actual anniversary date of his Machu Picchu discovery is 24 July 1911. Bright and sunny though not overwhelmingly hot. I imagine he was glowing when he first laid eyes around the ancient city.
I became hot and sweaty. The upward journey through dense forest, past lake and age old Inca stonework to altitudes that could reach over 4000m shouldn't be relating to the faint hearted. Altitude sickness is rather possible here. Not suprisingly the Spanish never thought it was, I thought, huffing and puffing up the steep path, they probably couldn't be bothered.
However when you finally allow it to, all such thoughts vanish.
Like an exquisite birds' nest carved concerning the rise of two peaks, the Inca stone latticing of the hillside spills compared to the sides in extravagant steps, showing temples and places of worship. It's like nothing you've ever seen.
You almost wonder what Bingham didn't have.
